 I depend on using bio identical testosterone from a very reputable compounding pharmacy, and I have very troubled by the idea of prohibiting these wonderful health giving substances from the consumer.



Wyeth makes unsubstantiated and negative claims about bioidentical hormones and calls on the federal government to enact regulations that would make it harder for you to take bioidentical hormones.



Compounding pharmacies have a long history of serving those patients whose unique medical needs preclude them for using off-the-shelf medications.  Compounding pharmacies provide critical options for many patients that would otherwise go un- or under-treated.  The implications of Wyeth's petition could well bring an end to the option of BHRT for those patients that need it. 



Please do not fall in to this pressure from a company that does not know the need for many people to have the bio identical hormone.

Thanks,

Steven Du Pre
