Estrogen Progestin Pills Linked to Blood Clots
A WHI analysis of 16 608 women ages 50 to 79 found Prempro users had more blood clots than placebo, with risks higher for overweight and obese women and those in their 60s and 70s. The study highlights obesity and age as key risk amplifiers and suggests genetic factors like factor V Leiden may raise susceptibility. A separate JAMA study found no increased risk for estrogen only pills.

Drug helps halt sudden blood pressure drop
A Mayo Clinic study found poridastigmine, a long used treatment for myasthenia gravis, can stabilize blood pressure on standing. In 58 patients, about a third could stop other meds and some could reduce dosages. The NIH funded trial notes higher risk for the elderly and those with diabetes or Parkinsons disease.
