Warning! You May Lose Your Access to Compounded Hormones!

The FDA and Wyeth, a big drug maker, are trying to stop bio-identical

hormone replacement therapy! Get involved and fight back!

Last week FDA decided to support a Wyeth campaign against compounded

treatments and announced that it will " halt " compounding of hormone treatments

that contain estriol. Estriol is a common and critical component of many

bioidentical hormone therapies (including Bi-Est and Tri-Est) that meets

standards that were established by Congress. If you are not sure if you are

taking estriol, ask your doctor or pharmacist. Even if you don't take a

medication with estriol, is your hormone or other compounded treatment next?

If FDA and Wyeth have their way, you will lose this access to vital

treatment options. This action affects hundreds of thousands of women!

We need your help!

We are calling on you to GET INVOLVED AND FIGHT BACK:

We are working to engage Members of Congress to call on FDA to reverse

its decision. We need your help to encourage your Representatives and Senators

in Congress and to stand up for the rights of women.

It's easy and effective. Simply click here to send a letter to each of

your Representatives and Senators in Congress, as well as FDA. There, you will

find a sample letter that you can tailor and send with one click of the mouse.

Once you've sent your letters, you can also call your members of

Congress and tell them why FDA's action supporting Wyeth is wrong. Use IACP's

easy-to-use call alert system. Talking points and phone numbers for your

members of Congress are provided within the call alert system.

Also, please forward this message to your friends who take compounded

bio-identical hormones and other friends who might be willing to speak out on

your behalf.

The time is now for us to take action to save bio-identical hormone

replacement therapy. We need your help to ensure that the FDA and Wyeth are not

allowed to rob us of the treatments we are prescribed to enjoy happier,

healthier lives.
