Save Your Bio-Identical Hormones!

Hello to all of our compounding friends,

WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT!!! The International Academy of Compounding Pharmacists is organizing a National Congressional Call-In Day on Wednesday, September 10, in an attempt to increase support for the H.Con.Res 342 and S.Con.Res. 88. These are the bills that call for the reversal of the Estriol ruling by the FDA. These resolutions are expressing the sense of Congress that the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) new policy restricting women's access to medications containing estriol does not serve the public interest. The goal is to generate an overwhelming number of calls in one single day to Capitol Hill and create awareness for house members who are not familiar with the ongoing conflict regarding the recent ruling on Estriol. There are already 50-plus Congress members co-sponsoring these bills and we would like to increase that number exponentially!

We would greatly appreciate your support on this National Call-In Day. You can go to http://www.savemybhrt.org/ and see the information they have available on this topic. This website also allows patients, pharmacists, and physicians to obtain the phone number for your specific member of Congress and talking points to guide your phone calls. Additionally, for those members of Congress who have already signed on, we can use these as "Thank You" calls.

So, please help the cause as this could only help secure the future of the entire compounding industry. Each battle won is never a small victory!

Thank you for your time and I truly hope that together, we can all make a difference.

Best Regards,

The Staff of Pacific Compounds Pharmacy
