A study suggests that progesterone injections may reduce COVID-19 severity in men. Separately, a 1971 FTC case against Listerine is recalled, where the company was forced to stop claiming its mouthwash could prevent colds. The historical parallel is used to illustrate how regulatory bodies have long restricted non-pharmaceutical health claims, despite practices like gargling being common in Japan.

- **Published:** 2013-10-03
- **Time:** 2:31:22–2:35:42

The Drug Quality and Security Act (HR 3204), sponsored by Representative Fred Upton, is criticized for threatening the traditional pharmacy compounding industry. The bill prevents pharmacies from compounding drugs that are "essentially copies" of approved commercial products, potentially raising prices from $20 to $1,200 for medications like progesterone. The hosts argue that Big Pharma is using isolated contamination cases to eliminate competition from natural hormone treatments.
