More on crappy generics

  My last blog entry was about crappy, inferior generics.  I want to say everything i said about over-the-counter pain medicine goes DOUBLE for generic estrogens.  If any of you are on hormone replacement therapy or know a woman who is, please advise them--or any man who lives with them.  This goes in particular for Wal-Mart and how they're supposed to be doing everybody such a big favor by giving their $4.00 generics.

  I have just seen a case of a woman who was taking a name brand Estradiol replacement who tried one of Wal-Mart's generics and felt so horrible she couldn't concentrate at work.  If the cause hadn't been figured out in time she could have lost her job, or even branded a head case, which she is not.

  Hormone replacement therapy is a very tricky business and if a molecule or two is off, all hell can break loose.  In this case i think it was just that there very little Estradiol in these pills, that most of the pills consisted of fillers.  After seeing somebody go through this i am VERY PISSED OFF and if this post helps anyone avoid this, it's well worth the trouble of writing it.
