CbHRT has been prescribed to me for the rest of my life. Due to surgery removing my ovaries, I am taking the amount of HR that my ovaries would naturally be making if I was 70 years of age. A natural does for post menopausal woman. This is a smaller amount, with all the estrogens, that has currently been unavailable from any other source. If this is taken away I will have to take more hormones than I would want and it would cost me more money. Also, at the time I received them all 3 estrogens were not in the pharmaceutical version. After doing research as to risks of too much hormone VS not enough, I learned that one way increases cancer and the other way heart disease. I have had my doctor formulate the amount for me that balances this risk. I have had zero side effects from this product. During an unrelated hospitalization, they were taken away from me for almost a week because the hospital could not identify them. The symptoms from not having them were physically evident. Please allow people to make their own health choices and have access to medicines they want to try. How about an at your own risk label? Following every suggestion in the report, I imagine, will up the cost of the product significantly making it not affordable to most people. It is not covered by my insurance. I imagine this is the case for others as well.
