I do agree that the public does want things fast and they dont like to wait for results. Maybe it isnt just the FDA's fault but they should have to do more indepth studies before putting a drug on the market to make sure they are safe and to find out the side effects and all. I dont care if people are yelling for them or not! No, maybe its not all the FDA's fault but if they dont have their hands in it so they can make money, it seems they try to shut the other sources down.

The FDA's focus on this issue will very likely shrink the market for hormone therapies produced by compounding pharmacies. Regulators and doctors hope the crackdown will encourage women to be more skeptical consumers and seek out reliable information about the ever-increasing number of safer hormone options that have been carefully studied. And the best advice for using these products is to take the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible time.
The FDA's Web site is offering an expanded consumer information section on bio-identicals for women looking for a better solution. The more women learn about the wide range of hormone therapies now available, the less upset they'll likely be about the loss of many of these customized bio-identicals. While some women may be frustrated in the short run that the treatments they have come to rely on will be increasingly harder to get, in the long run, they should end up with an answer that works better, is safer and costs a lot less.
