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. Experts argued that the warning, which dates to 2003, is inaccurate and scares women away from a safe and effective treatment for menopausal symptoms.

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.

While the findings are encouraging, this treatment is still experimental, and its long-term safety and efficacy need further confirmation.

New Study Highlights Rising Cardiovascular Risk for Postmenopausal Women
