Title: Hypothetical
Post by: whovian239342 on February 02, 2018, 05:36:51 PM
I wonder if gummy HRT is possible.  Instead of taking a shot, pill, gel, sublingual, or patch you chew a gummy. They would come in many shapes and symbols depending on your aesthetic preference. They would offer the same dosage mild, medium, moderate, maximum, and such.

That's what happened to the doctor before regeneration, he was eating jellybabies :)

It was mostly  the 4th doctor that ate the jelly babies and the re-genderation was just now,  so it took 40 years?  I'll stick to the oral/ sublingual.

Yes this is possible, but why? We have many different routes of administration that are safe and effective. Putting any medication in a gummy candy is risking overdose by small children who somehow can get into almost everything they are not supposed to.

This is true sadly.

At the time it seemed like a pretty good idea.

I need to watch the 4th doctor stuff. I love the 9th, 10th, and 12th doctors. The 11th was pretty good in some aspects as well but I don't think I could ever learn to love fish fingers and custard.

That is all true but the main reason would be the costs in getting the FDA approvals and the lack of market.  You could maybe patent the little bear shaped estradiol gummies, but since the drug itself is off patent, some one else could make a little heart shaped gummy.

4th doctor has always been my favorite.  Got my feet wet in the Whoniverse with him back in college and my oldest daughter is named after one of his later companions. 

Of the new series I think I like 11th best.  Maybe it's because I saw more of him and as I recall,  he didn't actually like the fish and custard combo did he? 

Im hoping Jodie Whittaker becomes my favorite.  It would mean her stories were good enough so that she won't be the last female regeneration.

I've always been prescribed a patch, but that might be because I work in the software industry.  :P
