Establishes an awareness campaign on the use of hormone replacement therapy in treating the symptoms of perimenopause and menopause
This bill requires New York's state health department to create an awareness campaign about hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for perimenopause and menopause symptoms. The campaign must provide clear information on symptoms, health risks, types of HRT (including benefits and side effects), and current medical recommendations. It directly affects individuals experiencing these symptoms by ensuring they receive evidence-based information to make informed health decisions. The law takes effect immediately upon enactment, mandating the campaign's implementation through necessary rule changes.
