Hormone Replacement Therapy

Sometimes, medicine can do more harm than good. Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) has been proven to place women at a greater risk for breast cancer, blood clots, heart attack and stroke. These are some results of side effects from defective drugs.

HRT is medication containing one or more female hormones, commonly estrogen and/or progestin. It is commonly prescribed to treat symptoms of menopause by replacing the hormones the natural aging process takes away.

Until recently, doctors believed the long-term use of hormone replacement therapy drugs such as Premarin, Provera, and Prempro were safe, and protected against osteoporosis and heart disease.

However, recent studies now show that HRT places women at a higher risk for breast and ovarian cancers, Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and other potentially fatal conditions such as heart attack, stroke and blood clots. Activella, FemHrt, and Prempro come as tablets each containing estrogen and progestin. Ortho-Prefest comes in a blister pack containing 30 tablets. Premphase comes in a dispenser containing 28 tablets. This should help you to determine whether you have received Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT).  If you believe that you or a loved one has suffered defective drug side effects or injury from HRT, please contact the Lewis Law Firm today to speak with a defective drug attorney.  For more information on Defective Drugs and defective drug side effects read the Lewis Law Firm blog.

Medical Devices and Products

Some medical devices and products have been shown to do more harm than good.  Unfortunately this is usually found out after the medical device or product has been provided to you, the consumer.  The FDA doesn’t always have all the information required from the manufacturer of the medical device or product to regulate use properly and explain potential side effects.  If you believe that you or a loved one has suffered adverse effects or injury from a defective drug, medical device, or product, please contact the Lewis Law Firm today.
