In the UK, a testosterone cream formulated specifically for women was approved by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) in August 2025.

FDA Panel Reconsiders Black Box Warning on Low-Dose Vaginal Estrogen
An FDA-convened panel of medical experts heard testimony in July 2025 supporting the removal of the black box warning from low-dose vaginal estrogen therapies.

New Research Finds Early Menopause Hormone Therapy May Offer Big Benefits with Lower Risks
This new perspective contrasts with the widespread alarm caused by the initial 2002 Women's Health Initiative (WHI) trial findings, which suggested serious risks and led many women and doctors to avoid hormone therapy (HT). Current research clarifies that those risks were primarily associated with older participants who began therapy many years after menopause using older, higher-dose formulations.

Veozah is the first neurokinin 3 (NK3) receptor antagonist approved by the FDA to treat moderate to severe hot flashes from menopause.
