ZURICH, Switzerland -- May 20, 2008 -- The global menopause summit concludes hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is safe for healthy women entering menopause. HRT in the early postmenopausal period is safe, and healthy women going through the first few years of menopause who need HRT to relieve symptoms should have no fears about its use. This is the conclusion and clinical advice of the First Global Summit on Menopause-Related Issues, which was held in Zurich, Switzerland on March 29 and March 30. The Zurich Summit was attended by global experts in menopause and related issues. It reviewed the evidence on the safety, risks, and benefits of HRT in the first few years of menopause, looking at 4 main areas of controversy: cardiovascular health, breast issues, cognition, and bone issues. Summit members compared public perception with actual safety, and are now issuing a state-of-the science summary, to enable women and clinicians to make informed judgments about whether or not to use HRT in early menopause.
