FDA and Testosterone Therapy

[Beethoven]

I'm just wondering which lobby is pushing this. They are basically saying get old and stfu. TRT is only good if you have a legit trauma or disease, well what about when you get old, discontinue therapy because now it doesn't work because you're old? The hypocrisy is blatant.

pharma companies are lobbying for this,,, there is no, i repeat, NO PATENT ON TESTOSTERONE. so not alot of money to be made, especially when any chinese/indian pharma company can produce a version in direct competition with US Pharma.

AND........US Pharma, can sell alot more of their PATENTED ancillary drugs to treat illnesses that would be fully treatable /cured by using therapeutic testosterone from such indian/chinese companies for circa $40-$50 a month. (diabetes anyone???)

the earlier we remind ourselves US PHARMA is a company- whose sole purpose is $$$, you dont make $$$ from curing someone of their illnesses. if i was a dr, i would hate healthy patients. how would i afford a boat?

But can't the different delivery mechanisms be patented, topicals like testogel, and transdermal patches, etc.? I would have thought that would be where the action is. Pharma companies are hurting as it costs so much now in R&D to successfully bring a drug to market now, I would think they would be looking for every source of income that they can.
