MHT Thrombotic Risks Differ by Route, Dose, and Duration (opens the original)
Read excerpt
New research published in The BMJ highlights important differences in thrombotic risks associated with different forms of menopausal hormone therapy (MHT). In a nationwide Danish study, oral MHT was associated with increased rates of venous blood clots, while ischemic stroke and myocardial infarction (heart attack) risks varied by dose and duration. Transdermal therapy had a much better safety profile, minus a higher risk for heart attack when using combined cyclic therapy (hazard ratio [HR], 2.

Read excerpt
Pregnant women with asthma who continued inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) during the first trimester did not have increased risks for adverse maternal or neonatal outcomes compared with those who discontinued treatment, according to a cohort study published in JAMA Network Open.
