It's a conspiracy, plain and simple.

I thought part of the problem with HRT was thought to be due to continued exposure to hormones of any kind. I am dying with night sweats (is there anything more gross?) and have been afraid to try HRT. Caveat: I am not through menopause yet...can I take bio-identicals even if I am not through menopause? Thx. Alexis,

Yet problems were proven to increase with PREMPRO and the other garbage manufactured by Wyeth. As to Estriol there are studies overseas showing that it is PROTECTIVE and not in the least harmful. All hormones should be balanced properly and with the guidance of a doctor. How on earth the FDA can say that women should take drug company hormones that HAVE been proven in STUDIES to have big dangers rather then something that is the same molecule her own body makes is behind me. Common sense and knowledge of how hormone receptors work in the human body appears to be totally lacking! Don't allow them to take away our choices!

Wyeth makes the synthetic hormone, prempro, a drug found to cause cancer and heart disease in the WHI study published in JAMA July 2002. Wyeth has lost 2 billion in sales since millions of women have switched away from the Wyeth product to compounded bioidentical hormones, a safer and more effective alternative. Wyeth wants to use the FDA to eliminate its competition. The problem is that the FDA does not regulate compounded bioidentical hormones, the states do the regulation. And the FDA's actions have only demonstrated that the agency is completely inept and corrupted by special interest groups in the drug industry.
