I have spent the last 12 years of my career changing the lives of men for the better. This has been the result of the personal relationships I have developed with pharmacists at compound pharmacies and the products they can specialize for my patients. Hormone replacement therapy is not "cookie cutter" medicine. Each individual has a different uptake and metabolism of these vital hormone replacements. Yes men and women could live out their lives without hormone replacement therapy. But do we want to just exist or do we want to LIVE. The individualized utilization of compounded hormones and other adjunctive therapies allows my practice to help these LIVE and not just exist. The ramnifications of their improved lives radiates out to their colleagues, their families and their community. Big Pharma creates medications with very little capability, manipulate dosing, remove additives that can cause reactions in many patients or combining intone single delivery method to improve compliance. Please support compound pharmacies and take away some of the control Big Pharma has over our society and the practice of individualized medicine which is the way medicine should be practiced.
