HORMONES: ACOG Reiterates Stance On So-Called 'Bioidentical' Hormones From: Hope Waltman (anonymous@obgyn.net) Sun, 8 Feb 2009 14:10:37 -0600 (CST) Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Hope Waltman: "HRT: 2 Years of Hormone Use May Be 'Safe'" Previous message: Samir F Abdel Aziz, MD : "Re: ONCOLOGY: Ongoing history of abnormal Paps, LEEPS x3, HGSIL x3" ACOG Reiterates Stance On So-Called "Bioidentical" Hormones http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/137825.php In November 2005, ACOG issued a committee opinion regarding "Compounded Bioidentical Hormones" that stated its concerns about bioidenticals. More recently, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued warning letters in 2008 to several pharmacies in the US that make compounded bioidentical hormones. Some of these pharmacies claimed that compounded hormones were superior to FDA-approved hormone therapies and that they also prevented or treated serious diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, stroke, and various cancers. The FDA stated that the pharmacies' claims of safety and effectiveness were false, misleading, and a violation of federal law. Women are encouraged to learn more by reading the FDA's consumer article "Bioidenticals: Sorting Myths from Facts" http://www.fda.gov/consumer/updates/bioidenticals040808.html http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/whi/index.html Best Regards, Hope Waltman, WHF Moderator http://www.hopeforfibroids.org Next message: Hope Waltman: "HRT: 2 Years of Hormone Use May Be 'Safe'" Previous message: Samir F Abdel Aziz, MD : "Re: ONCOLOGY: Ongoing history of abnormal Paps, LEEPS x3, HGSIL x3"
