GENERAL
My name is Deanne Black and I have been taking bioidentical hormones for two years. It has been a tremendous comfort to me as it has allevitated migraine headaches that otherwise occured when taking synthetic hormones.
I consult with my physician, who prescribes bio-identical hormones specifically for me, and my pharmacist prepares them. Without this medication, I fear I would need to return to synthetic hormone replacement and thus once again be plagued with migraine headaches. These are debilitating headaches that require expensive medication and time off work.
The benefit of BHRT is that 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,
Deanne Black
