Helen Rush of Little Rock, AR is suing drug manufacturer Wyeth on the allegation that the drug Prempro caused her to develop breast cancer.

She sued the company in 2005 and the jury is now being selected. Prempro is a combination of estrogen and progestin, used for hormone replacement therapy in menopausal women. Rush took the drug for nine years and was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1999. There are approximately 5000 cases against Wyeth related to Prempro. A Women's Health Initiative study in July 2002 linked hormone replacement therapy with heart related illness and breast cancer.
