COMMISSIONER OF THE FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION DR. MARK MCCLELLAN:
SOUNDBITE:
“
It is very important that women realize that this beneficial therapy
also carries significant

for hot flashes,
vaginal dryness, or to prevent thin bones, take the lowest possible
dose for the least duration
required to provide relief.”
