RE: Docket 2005P-0411

My name is Peggy Jones and I am a 58 year old self-employed artist. I have been taking bio-identical hormones for almost 2 years. For 2 years prior to using the hormones, I suffered very much with the typical symptoms of menopause. So much so that I found it difficult to work.

It took considerable effort on my part, to find a physician and then a compounding pharmacy, who was familiar with bio-identicals. Unfortunately they are hard to find. There should be more of them, not less. My body cannot tolerate chemically manufactured hormones, so if Wyeth's petition (Docket # 2005P-0411) is successful, I would be left without medication that is vital for my well being. The FDA should reject Wyeth's petition.

Sincerely,
Peggy Jones
