 Comments: This is in regard to Docket # 2005P-0411.  

     I am not in agreement that my access to bioidentical or natural

hormones should be limited because of Wyeth's claims.  

     I have been on bioidentical hormones for about two years now and

wouldn't have it any other way.  The pharmacy I work with has been very

conscientious regarding amounts, frequency and kinds of hormones I am

currently taking to balance my chemical makeup while going through

menopause.  I have not experienced negative side effects while being on 

the hormones.  If side effects and long-term effects can be minimalized by 

being on bioidentical hormones that are compatible with my chemical makeup, 

then I am all for them.  

     I don't believe Wyeth should have an advantage over compounding

pharmacies when it comes to hormonal treatment, especially because I

personally think bioidentical hormones are overall healthier for women 

than the synthetic hormones Wyeth promotes.  

     Thank You for your time.   -Carol Newell
