• Do not use estrogens and progestins to prevent heart disease, heart attacks, strokes or dementia. Using estrogens and progestins may increase your chances of getting heart attack, strokes, breast cancer, and blood clots. Using estrogens, with or without progestins may increase your risk of dementia, based on a study of women age 65 years or older. It is unknown whether this study applies to women who began estrogen and progestin therapy before age 65. You and your healthcare provider should talk regularly about whether you still need treatment with femhrt.
