When a woman’s ovaries stop making estrogen – usually at around age 45 to 55 - menopause occurs. This marks the end of the woman’s monthly menstrual period, or what is commonly referred to as the "change of life”. Millions of women have received menopausal hormone therapy to relieve discomforts caused by menopause. Through the 1970’s, menopausal women received pharmaceutical prescription estrogen to combat those symptoms.

Premarin, manufactured by Wyeth Laboratories, was the nation’s leading menopausal drug. However, in the 1970’s the scientific community learned that Premarin causes cancer. Sales of Premarin plummeted, as woman naturally stayed away. But Wyeth convinced women that if they combined Premarin with another drug, Provera, the cancer problem would disappear. What’s worse, Wyeth told women that if they took the combination of Premarin and Provera that they would receive added protection to their heart, their bones, that it would help prevent Alzheimer’s disease, depression, and increase their sexual vitality. Wyeth turned the combination of Premarin and Provera into a single pill, called “Prempro,” and unleashed it on the market.

In July 2002, a federal study released findings that long-term use of Prempro leads to an increased risk of (1) breast cancer, (2) heart disease and (3) strokes. The study concluded that the risks of Prempro use far outweighed any benefits. Women were urged to stop taking Prempro immediately. Wyeth scurried to change its warning label, but for thousands of women, it was too late. These women began to recognize where their breast cancer may have come from.
