FDA Bans Hormone Produced by the Human Body as "Unapproved " Drug
The FDA has told women and their doctors:
Stop using bioidentical hormones.
Your choice and your doctor's prescription don't matter.
Heart and cancer questions raised in 2002 about FDA "approved" synthetic women's hormones don't matter.
Countless women currently rely on replacement hormones that are prescribed by their doctors and compounded in local pharmacies. These compounded hormones are biologically identical to the ones produced in the human body. The formulas include bioidentical, naturally occurring estrogen hormones such as estriol.
Nevertheless, on January 9, 2008, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ordered pharmacies to stop providing bioidentical estriol. Even though 80% of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy prescriptions use it, and estriol is manufactured by the human body, the FDA makes the outrageous and nonsensical claim that estriol is "a new and unapproved drug" and that "the safety and effectiveness of estriol is unknown."
Act now to defend your right to bioidentical hormones!
