This article talks about how the FDA is removing the requirement for black box warning labels on HRT prescribed to women for symptoms of menopause. The FDA is asked for the removal of the label so women who are having symptoms of menopause are not afraid to go on HRT to help with their symptoms. In addition, the article incorporate a quote from the FDA Commissioner and others in the organization saying the science behind the warning labels are based on outdated science.

While everything in this article is true, the one point that could be clarified as it is in other articles on the topic is that the FDA is only requesting the removal of the label for HRT specifically for women going through menopause, and not any other HRT prescriptions.
