I am a medical professional and I am appalled that a pharmaceutical company in the guise of "public safety" should be upset when I prescribe hormones for my patients...of course, these hormones are not manufactured by them so they do not profit from them.
There have been numerous studies done that have shown the safety and efficacy of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. In addition, the lives of many of my patients have been dramatically improved since they were put on bioidentical hormones. To remove that choice would be unethical. I kindly ask that the request by Wyeth be denied. Thank you. William R. Work, M.D. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
