URGENT! PLEASE MARK YOUR CALENDAR FOR WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10
BHRT NATIONAL CONGRESSIONAL CALL-IN DAY!

BHRT National Congressional Call-In Day is Wednesday, September 10. Our goal is to generate thousands of calls in a single day to Capitol Hill to add co-sponsors for H. Con. Res. 342 and S. Con. Res. 88. The callers will include compounding pharmacists, patients, physicians and others who have a stake in protecting access to estriol and bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT).


FDA and the big drug makers are trying to rob patients and physicians of their choice in using hormone treatments! In early 2008, FDA instituted a new set of policies that will “halt” compounding of hormone treatments that contain estriol.

Now the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate each have resolutions calling for FDA to reverse its policy on estriol, however not all Senators and Representatives are aware of FDA’s new policy and the effect it will have on women’s health. On Wednesday, Sept. 10, the BHRT National Congressional Call-In Day will flood Capitol Hill with phone calls from concerned constituents who will urge their elected members of Congress to sign on to their respective Congressional resolution.

Already there has been much success in gaining co-sponsors for these Congressional resolutions, but momentum is vital to ensure that the FDA reverse its policy on estriol and BHRT. The BHRT National Congressional Call-In Day is a key strategy to send a strong, united message to Capitol Hill in our effort to protect women’s health!

BHRT National Congressional Call-In Day is open to anyone who has an interest in protecting access to compounded medicines. Several other important organizations are encouraging their members to participate in this National Congressional Call-In Day, including national pharmacy associations, national physician organizations, chemical suppliers and women’s health advocacy groups.
