What could have safer treatments…

Menopause symptoms. Yesterday, researchers in Canada reported hormone patches and creams used to alleviate symptoms could lower blood pressure risk compared to pills. Women most commonly use estrogen and progestin combination pills to relieve menopause symptoms. Now, after examining more than 112,000 health records of women ages 45 and older, researchers found women who took estrogen pills (like Cenestin and Enjuvia) had a 14% higher risk of developing high blood pressure than those using skin patches or creams. The North American Menopausal Society said it recommends using transdermal hormone therapy for women with risk factors to minimize the possibility of high blood pressure.

Now, Harry is set to be the first high-ranking member of the British royal family to appear as a witness in court in 130 years. His lawyers say “every facet” of the prince’s life was in the papers. Meanwhile, one lawyer for the tabloid says there’s “no evidence” to support Harry was hacked.
