Kids to avoid EvaMist

July 30, 2010

THE FDA is warning women who use the estrogen hormonal replacement medication spray EvaMist (estradiol), to avoid unintentional exposure of children and pets. Sprayed on the arm, between the wrist and elbow, the medication has received eight post-marketing cases of unintended exposure to EvaMist in kids aged between 3-5yrs. Adverse reactions to this exposure include premature puberty, nipple swelling and breast development in females and breast enlargement in males. Pet side effects to EvaMist exposure include mammary/nipple enlargement and vulvar swelling. For info see www.fda.gov.
