Hey guys,
I thought many of you might be interested in this post
that came up on the hyper-T groups site. It's
regarding compounded medicines for animals. I use
Tapazole/Methimazadole for my Julie, who is hyper-T.

Hi everyone,
Many of us depend on compounded drugs for our cats.
There is an effort on the part of FDA to make these
drugs harder to get. It was stopped in Texas recently
by the courts. The question is for how long. I know
this is not a political blog but these issues are
important to us and I thought that if you weren't
aware - you should be.
Here is a link to the Boston Globe's story about the
case:

(both my cats use life saving compounded drugs that
are not approved by FDA for veterinary use;
incidentally, methimazole was never approved by FDA
for veterinary use and neither was transdermal methimazole)
