Prempro Breast Cancer & Ovarian Cancer
What are
prempro side effects? The biggest problem with Prempro are dangerous side effects of long term use - Breast Cancer and Ovarian Cancer. Instead of helping, there are harmful and debilitating Prempro side effects. Prempro is no longer perceived as magic little pill prescribed to improve lives of millions of menopausal and postmenopausal women due to these dangerous Prempro side effects.
Solving Prempro breast cancer mystery all started with Women's Health Initiative (WHI), a 15-year study of ways to prevent heart disease, breast and colorectal cancer, and osteoporosis. The WHI consisted of a set of clinical studies and an observational study sponsored by National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) in collaboration with other units of National Institutes of Health (NIH). The study began in 1991 and involved more than 161,000 healthy postmenopausal women.
One of clinical studies involved 16,608 women who still had their uterus intact, took estrogen plus progestin therapy or a placebo. A placebo is a substance that looks like real drug but has no biologic effect. The main goal was to see if estrogen plus progestin therapy would help prevent heart disease and hip fractures. Another goal was to determine if possible benefits were greater than possible risks for Prempro side effects of breast cancer, endometrial cancer, ovarian cancer, and blood clots.
Alert: Prempro breast cancer lawsuits in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and across USA are based on side effects of Prempro about which manufacturer failed to warn doctors who were prescribing Prempro. Our Philadelphia law firm is familiar with Prempro study that was stopped alarmingly early because after 5.2 years risks of Prempro side effects far outweighed and outnumbered benefits.
