It improved my general well being. I felt more energetic and both my body and my mind were balanced. Having the prescription made uniquely for me made all the difference. I had been prescribed the over the counter hormones. They were discontinued for negative reactions. I feel I need these alternate choices and should be free to choose which is the best health choice for me as prescribed by my doctor. This loss would be a determent to everyone's choice of health care. Big pharmacies bottom line is profit. They should not be allowed to run out or incorporate every other choice we have for our health. Leaving us with their manufactured product only which is really no choice at all.
