My name is Gundula Lee and I have been taking bio-identical hormones for ten years. It has been a tremendous comfort to me as it alleviates vaginal symptoms of menopause.
I consult with my physician, who prescribes bio-identical hormones specifically for me, and my pharmacist prepares them. Without this medication, I would not be able to walk or exercise without extreme discomfort/pain. In addition, my marital relations would be non-existent. 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 individual doses for me. The FDA should reject Wyeth's petition. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
