Premarin Manufacturer Trying to Get Bio-Identical Hormones Off the Market

Friday March 3, 2006
With the serious health concerns over prescription hormone replacement drugs reported in the 2002 Women’s Health Initiative (WHI), many doctors and patients have since turned to custom compounded bio-identical hormones for safer estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone replacement with fewer side effects and risks than mass manufactured versions. Thyroid guide Mary Shomon reports that one company is trying to get the FDA to make bio-identical hormones unavailable. If you want to protect your right to bio-identical drugs, you need to make your voice heard during the FDA comment period, which ends soon!

I have been on bio-identical progesterone cream for a year now and it has helped me; where I was unable to take the other mass manufactured versions.

I use Bio-identical hormones for my endometriosis because pharmacutical make me ill with all kinds of side affects. I don’t know where I’d be without Bio-ident hormones
