The Estrogen Elixir: A History of Hormone Replacement Therapy in America Tapa dura - 2007 - 1st Edición
de Elizabeth Siegel Watkins
Descripción de la solapa
The Estrogen Elixir tells the story of the rises and falls of hormone replacement therapy and its promise to women to prolong youthfulness and forestall the diseases of aging. In 1992, after several decades on the market, estrogen became the most prescribed drug in America, but it lost popularity ten years later when the Women's Health Initiative reported that it increased the risk of heart attacks, strokes, blood clots, and breast cancer. Estrogen continues to be used by midlife and older women, although not without controversy. As the first complete history of HRT, The Estrogen Elixir is essential reading for one of contemporary medicine's most pressing debates.
