GENERAL
I am a physician who routinely uses compunding pharmacies to prescribe estradiol, progesterone, and other hormones that fall under the category of "bio-identical" hormones. Please preserve our right to prescribe these medication and patient's right to receive them. They have provided many benefits and are not any more of a risk to health than Wyeth's competing products, Prempro and premarin.
