The judge did reduce the original punitive damages from $99 million and said ok to the $58 million dollar settlement. When you read through the article we are splitting hairs here over which state the case should have been heard in and when and where (which state) were the women living when they...

This looks like it can be a fun show and entertaining. Last year I had time to speak with Dr. Erika and we talked about Bioidentical hormones. I learned quite a bit from the interview and agree with her demand to get some numbers on FDA approved bioidentical HRT and Premarin. ...

I have been writing about this for a while now, but I wonder why can’t we get some numbers crunched here? We keep hearing about the Bio Identical hormone treatments that are customized, but why can’t we get some numbers that compare “FDA Approved” Bio identical hormones compared to Premarin? ...

If you have kept up with the news of late, you may have read quite a bit about this issue and where the disputes lie. It all goes back to the women's health initiative and the fact that ghostwriting was used to promote the drug. Under the related reading section below I have a few posts...

Now that Wyeth has be acquired by Pfizer, so goes the legal cases too, part of the deal. Anyway, I have done a bit of writing on the blog relating back to the Women’s Health Initiative and the ghost writing that was used relative to marketing the drug. Premarin/Prempro Ghostwriting – The...

This is a follow up to the post last week with the judge ordering the unsealing of the documents involved in the case.

Sen.

Not too long ago I interviewed Dr. Erika Schwartz about bio identical hormone treatments...
