It seems apparent that Wyeth is desperately trying to protect their revenue stream by prohibiting physicians and patients from selecting safe, alternative HRT in the form of bio-identical hormones. There have been MANY more unwanted health side effects from using synthetic HRT than issues with natural alternatives. If anything, the FDA should be more closely regulating the synthetic products. It is ridiculous to assert that licensened physicians and pharmacists are "duping" consumers or endangering their health by prescribing and providing bio-identical HRT products. Please do not bow to this pressure by further regulating more natural products that are working for untold numbers of women who are concerned about the nasty side effects of synthetic HRT products.
