Menopause No Cap: FDA Makes a Move on Hormone Therapy

You know when you’re lowkey stressed about something, but then someone tells you it’s actually a major issue, and you’re like, ‘no cap, I knew that’? Well, that’s kinda what the FDA did recently.

They’re removing those black box safety warnings from hormone therapy, and we’re here to break it down.

Hormone therapy (HT) is a treatment for menopause symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings. It’s been around for a minute, but it’s been getting a bad rep due to some pretty concerning side effects.

The FDA’s been reviewing the evidence, and it looks like HT might not be the devil we thought it was.
