Jacksonville Hormone Replacement Therapy Lawyers
With a growing number of aging women in the United States, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) has become a hot-button issue in recent years. Though synthetic estrogens have been produced since the 1920s, it is only in recent years that individuals have become aware of HRT's positive effects on women's chances of getting osteoporosis and heart disease. Unfortunately, there is a dark side to hormone replacement therapy. Read on for more information on hormone therapy risks and your rights.
Though HRT can have positive effects on a woman's chances for getting osteoporosis or heart disease, HRT has also been linked with increased endometrial and breast cancers and could cause issues such as dementia, though it is often prescribed to prevent Alzheimer's. In 2004, this issue received particular attention from the FDA, who asked healthcare companies to change the labeling on their estrogen and estrogen/progestin hormone replacement therapy drugs to include information about the increased risks for women.
Women who have taken Prempro or Premarin have suffered severe side effects such as an increase in breast cancer of up to 26 percent and higher incidences of non-Hodgkins lymphoma, gall bladder cancer, and ovarian cancer. This is obviously of major concern for women who have been prescribed these drugs in confidence by trusted doctors. What can women who have seen unsafe side effects of hormone replacement therapy do?
The answer is simple: fight back. You can send a message to unethical drug manufacturers who create and distribute unsafe drugs by filing a personal injury or defective drug lawsuit in civil court. Receiving monetary compensation for lost wages, medical bills, and future care can't buy back the time you spend being sick, but it can make a start in compensating you for your pain and suffering.
