GENERAL
Please do not ban our access to compounding pharmacies. As a health professional and a menopausal woman, my pharmacy has been a lifesaver to my patients and myself. There are many women, like myself, with less than optimal liver function, who cannot tolerate oral hormones, and can only tolerate bioidentical creams. There is absolutely no problem with safety with the creams so there is no reason whatsoever to ban them. This is not true with the pharmaceutical hormones, particularly Premarin and Provera. If any hormones should be banned, it should be these.
