An appropriate choice
Hormone therapy is an appropriate choice for women suffering from the symptoms of menopause.
If you have a uterus and are going through menopause naturally, using estrogen alone may increase the risk of uterine cancer. Combined hormone therapy that includes estrogen and progestin may help reduce that risk.

Using estrogens with or without progestins may increase your risk of dementia. You and your healthcare provider should talk regularly about whether you still need treatment with ANGELIQ.
