I urge the FDA to continue to allow pharmacies to compound bio-identical hormone replacement therapy drugs. With my doctor's wise counsel and a highly competent compounding pharmacy I overcame severe symptoms of menopause and more importantly I am experiencing the best health in my life. I fear if you take away women's right to receive this therapy it will drive these hormone replacement therapy drugs onto a black market and out of the reliable and safe hands of
compounding pharacies. Likewise if the FDA succombs to the pressure of Wyeth our meds will only become more expensive and our health compromised. The FDA must do its research and they will see that safe, effective and natural bio-identical hormones are actually better for a woman's body. It would be a crime to take this from women.
