Author of "The Hormone of Desire" and internationally respected authority on testosterone deficiency and hormone supplementation in women. Dr. Rako speaks out, addressing women's worries about the safety of hormone supplementation.
As published in The New York Times
To the Editor:
What has been tested and found risky is one particular drug, Prempro, a pharmaceutical that combines conjugated estrogen with a synthetic progestin.
Unfortunately, the study made no provision to follow the risks to women of supplemental estrogen in combination with natural progesterone on an intermittent cyclic basis, a regimen least likely to increase risks of breast cancer, heart attacks, and strokes.
Women should not be left thinking that all estrogen-progestin hormone replacement therapy is hazardous. What a pity that the study was poorly designed and that its conclusions lend themselves so well to misinterpretation.
