Prempro

The study contained NO data suggesting that BHRT was dangerous.

In fact, there is no scientific data available that supports this claim.

"It is unconscionable that Wyeth claims to be acting in the best interests of women and their health while continuing to market Premarin, and simultaneously undermining proven safe and effective treatments," said Dr.

Hotze.

As a result of the WHI study, Wyeth suffered a $1.2 billion (68 percent) decline in the sales of its Premarin line between 2002 and 2004, which led to the closing of one of its manufacturing plants.

Yet, Wyeth refuses to pull Premarin from the market.

"Wyeth's actions have nothing to do with a concern for a patient's health; rather it has everything to do with eliminating its competition through overregulation.

At stake is a woman's right to make the healthcare choices that are right for her without the interference or undue burden of the federal government," concluded Dr.
