The patient was an older OB partner (who was asking my current OB back up) if he remembered using it. I sent the info on to him. But since I am one of the few in our practice that can turn a computer on- I get to email all the questions. So thank you from all of us. We have several compounding pharmacies around here,so they might try it. CNMs do come in handy for a few things -snicker.

If so- what dose works best? We had a menopausal woman who was insistent that it had helped someone she knew, but this was new to us. The doc asked me to see what the list thought of the idea. Good, bad?? He told me why she refused HRT, but I can't remember it off the top of my head. Internet verifies that it can be used for menopausal  symptoms, but not the dose or frequency. Thanks.
