CARDIOVASCULAR AND OTHER RISKS Estrogens and progestins should not be used for the prevention of cardiovascular disease [see WARNINGS , Cardiovascular disorders ].

Other doses of oral conjugated estrogens with medroxyprogesterone acetate, and other combinations and dosage forms of estrogens and progestins were not studied in the WHI clinical trials and, in the absence of comparable data, these risks should be assumed to be similar.

Because of these risks, estrogens with or without progestins should be prescribed at the lowest effective doses and for the shortest duration consistent with treatment goals and risks for the individual woman.

Do not use estrogens with or without progestins to prevent heart disease, heart attacks, or strokes.

Using estrogens with or without progestins may increase your chances of getting heart attacks, strokes, breast cancer, and blood clots.

Coronary Heart Disease In women 50 to 59 years of age, the WHI estrogen plus progestin trial reported a relative risk for coronary heart disease (CHD) events (defined as nonfatal MI, silent MI, or CHD death) of 1.34 (95% CI, 0.82, 2.19) for CE/MPA compared placebo, with a risk difference of 5 per 10,000 WYs (23 versus 17).

Breast Cancer Progesterone is contraindicated in women with breast cancer, a history of breast cancer, or estrogen-dependent neoplasia (see CONTRAINDICATIONS).

The Women’s Health Initiative Study In the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) estrogen plus progestin substudy (daily CE [0.625 mg] plus MPA [2.5 mg] versus placebo), there was a higher relative risk of nonfatal stroke and invasive breast cancer in women greater than 65 years of age (see CLINICAL STUDIES and WARNINGS, Cardiovascular disorders and Malignant neoplasms…

The Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) estrogen plus progestin trial reported increased risks of PE, DVT, stroke, and MI in postmenopausal women (50 to 79 years of age, average age 63.4 years) during 5.6 years of treatment with daily oral conjugated estrogens (CE) [0.625 mg] combined with medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) [2.5 mg], relative to placebo.

Therefore, the relevance of the WHI findings regarding adverse cardiovascular events to lower CE plus other MPA doses, other routes of administration, or other estrogen plus progestogen products is not known.
