The US Food and Drug Administration is removing health warnings from hormone-based menopause drugs.

In a written statement, the FDA announced that it has decided to remove the warnings on the boxes of drugs containing estrogen and progesterone hormones and used to treat symptoms experienced by women during menopause , such as hot flashes.

FDA Commissioner Marty Makary emphasized in a statement that the warnings in question were "outdated" and "unnecessary."

Warnings say it can lead to stroke, heart attack, dementia and other serious risks.

It is stated that removing the warning may encourage more women to take the medication.

Recently, experts and research have suggested that these hormones may have a positive impact on women's health, but that the warnings are causing people to hesitate to take these medications, prompting calls on the FDA to "remove the warnings."
