The FDA has issued two warning letters to Bayer for not submitting proof that the Bayer Women’s Low Dose Aspirin + Calcium and Bayer Aspirin With Health Advantage are useful in fighting heart disease and osteoporosis in women.

"These are not FDA-approved products," agency spokeswoman Rita Chappelle said. "They are selling products that are illegal."

Tanzi's team analyzed samples from more than 1,300 families to come to a conclusion.

Hot flushes, night sweats and painful joints are good signs for women who are on hormone – based drugs for breast cancer. The symptoms mean that the tumors are less likely to recur in these women.

According to a new study led by Jack Cuzick of Cancer Research UK, women who were taking anastrozole or tamoxifen for breast cancer and experienced menopausal like symptoms had less likelihood of recurrent tumors.

The researchers used data from 4,000 women with early-stage breast cancer. It was found that for women who developed joint symptoms after the treatment, the recurrence rate was reduced by about 41 percent. But those who developed more vasomotor symptoms, the recurrence rate decreased by 47 percent.
