FDA Issues Guidance Against Compounding Pharmacies

The FDA has issued a draft document of guidance against compounding pharmacies (pdf) saying that compounding pharmacies should not be used if a similar product is available from a commercial pharmacy and that doctors using compounded drugs should provide justification with each prescription. As it is a draft, there is a 90 day comment period. Comments can be submitted electronically through the web.

Needless to say, if this guidance becomes law it will have a dramatic effect on TRT in the US, probably raising prices of prescribed drugs significantly. So I hope everyone takes the time to comment.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
