I was invited to participate in the FDA roundtable on menopausal hormone therapy. 

I declined. 

In this episode, I’m going to tell you why. 

  • A brief history of the FDA
  • Why there is a black box warning on all estrogen products
  • Why the black box warning should be removed from all local vaginal estrogen products
  • Prior efforts to get the label removed
  • How product labels and warnings  traditionally have been modified or removed at the FDA
  • My concerns and why I did not participate in the roundtable
My article on increased sepsis when local vaginal estrogen is not used.
