Menopausal Hormone Therapy (MHT)
On November 10, 2025, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that it is recommending the removal of “black box” warnings from Menopausal Hormone Therapies (MHT) with regards to increased risks of cardiovascular disease, breast cancer, and probable dementia. The removal of the black box warnings will reduce bias and misunderstandings about MHT.
Women who are appropriate candidates may have an additional option when considering pharmacotherapies for their bone health. Osteoporosis Canada recommends that interested individuals discuss with their healthcare providers, to determine if MHT may be an appropriate treatment option for them.

About Osteoporosis Canada
Osteoporosis Canada is the only national charity in the country dedicated to supporting individuals affected by osteoporosis. This organization is committed to empowering Canadians through education, advocacy, and research, with a primary focus on reducing the number of fragility fractures. We’re here to provide reliable, evidence-based information to help you navigate your bone health journey.
Often called the “silent thief,” osteoporosis is a disease that can weaken bones without any noticeable symptoms, making them more susceptible to fractures. The statistics are significant: at least one in three women and one in five men will experience an osteoporotic fracture in their lifetime. However, with the right knowledge and proactive steps, you can significantly reduce your risk and manage your condition effectively.
