Funny, but if breast cancer is found once they switch to a 'medication' they
chose, who can they blame but themselves. WOW! Americans actually taking
responsibility for their own stupidity; it would be like a dream come true.

There is a strange and mighty race of people called the Americans who are
rapidly becoming the coldest in the world because of this cruel, man-eating
idol, lucre.

A call to the state board of pharmacy may be helpful. Failing that, .45 cal
works well.

Listers,
I am not a huge "snake oil" salesperson when it come bioidenticals, but I
will either new start or switch patients to them if they request. I use the
same talked echoed by others here on the list, assuring that the patient
understands that estrogen is likely estrogen when it comes to risk and that
there are no studies that have included these agents.
Last week, after calling in prescriptions for a patient who wanted to switch
over, I got a call from the patient. She had gone to the pharmacy and was
told by the pharmacist there that I didn't know what I was doing with regard
to bioidenticals and that she knew significantly more. She then told the
patient that I had prescribed the wrong medication and they needed to be
changed.
Has anybody heard that you have to "wean" a patient off Premphase before
starting another preparation?
Since then, I have been repeatedly counting to 10, trying to cool off and
decide what to do...
