RE: Docket 2005P-0411

Dear Sir or Madam:

My name is Gwyn Blanton and I have been taking bio-identical hormones for two years. It has been a tremendous comfort to me as it alleviates hot flashes, bloating, and moodiness.

I consult with my physician, who prescribes bio-identical hormones specifically for me, and my pharmacist who prepares them. Without this medication, I weighed 10 pounds more, had no libido and was listless and depressed. I had tried prescription birth control pills and HRT patches for the same symptoms and had no success.

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. PLEASE!!!!

Sincerely,

Gwyn Blanton
