FDA removes black-box warnings from menopause treatments without adviser review
Original: FDA again bypasses advisers to remove black-box warnings from menopause treatments https://www. theguardian.com/us-news/
The US Food and Drug Administration has again bypassed its outside advisory committees to remove black-box warnings from menopause hormone therapies. The warnings, the strongest safety label used by the agency, have long been debated, with many doctors arguing they overstate risks and discourage women from effective treatment. Critics of the move question the decision to skip the usual expert review process, while women's health advocates have welcomed clearer access to hormone therapy.
Why now: People are debating the balance between improving access to menopause care and the FDA skipping standard expert review.
