 I am writing in hopes that you will reject Wyeth's petition to stop pharmacies from providing customized BHRT therapy to patients.  I have been working in pharmacy for 21 years and have seen many changes made by drug companies to expand their pockets which results in hurting patients. 



Most people do not realize the value and necessity of compounded medications and customized prescription therapy until they have a family member or friend that has failed tradtional therapies.   Please be aware that medicine is a science and "one size" does not fill all.  



I feel that Wyeth is using the FDA to sympathize with them to increase their bottom line by attacking pharmacist. I'm sure all professions have a few bad apples, but I do not know of one pharmacist that would intentional hurt a patient to benefit his or her pocket.  We are one of the few professions that really look after the patient and not the bottom dollar.  So please recognize this and preserve the patient's right to receive customized prescription therapy.
