T.S. Wiley’s Testimony Before the Special Committee on Aging at the U.S. Senate |
|
T.S. Wiley testified on April 19, 2007 before the Special Committee on Aging at the United States Senate in Washington D.C., presenting her expertise and experience with menopause and bio-identical hormone replacement therapy, and the changing landscape of women’s health in later years, among other research.
Wiley addressed the fact that the Safe Compounding Drug Act of 2007 would severely restrict and possibly deny access to critical medications and give the Food and Drug Administration the power to: - Broadly eliminate the availability of many critical, commonly compounded medications that many patients rely on (most especially bio-identical hormones for women).
- Determine when compounded medicines are needed - a decision that has always been and should always be made by doctors.
- Restrict the compounded medications the doctor can prescribe even if he or she determines the need for them.
