Division of Dockets Management Food and Drug Administration 5630 Fishers Lane, Room 1061 (HFA-305) Rockville, MD, 20852 RE: Docket 2005P-0411 Dear Sir or Madam: My name is Frances Shea and I have been taking bio- identical hormones for nine years. It has been a tremendous comfort to me as it alleviates my menopausal symptoms. I consult with my physician, who prescribes bio-identical hormones specifically for me, and my pharmacist prepares them. Without this medication, I would be unable to sleep, endure mood swings, suffer debilitating hot flashes. The quality of my life would be much diminished. ( The benefit of BHRT is that it is designed for me and I am concerned that Wyeth?s petition (Docket # 2005P-0411) would limit the ability of my physician and pharmacist to keep prescribing and preparing these individualized doses for me. The FDA should reject Wyeth?s petition. Sincerely, Frances P. Shea Portland, Maine | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
