Companies Warned About Unsupported Hormone Therapy Claims

FDA has sent letters warning seven pharmacy operations that claims they make about the safety and effectiveness of their so-called "bio-identical hormone replacement therapy," or "BHRT," products are unsupported by medical evidence, and that the agency considers these claims to be false and misleading. The pharmacy operations improperly claim that their drugs are superior to FDA-approved menopausal hormone therapy drugs and that they prevent or treat serious diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, stroke, and various forms of cancer.
