30 years using compounded transdermal hormones

I was introduced to transdermal hormones, testosterone and progesterone/biest, at the onset of menopause at age 55. My preference was to use natural as opposed to artificial hormones to ameliorate the expected effects of menopause, in large measure because of friends who experienced problems of one sort or another when using synthetics. My husband had informed me that I could have either one hot flash or two warm flashes, my choice, but no more so finding a way to avoid such aggravations was important. (He was joking, of course.) To date, I have suffered neither a hot flash nor a warm flash nor the dreaded vaginal dryness and the idea that a bunch of lab rats and politicians could deny future generations of women the same avoidance of the many potential discomforts of menopause is altogether unacceptable. The medical community bears some responsibility for the broad lack of understanding of the value of natural hormone supplementation post-menopause, but the idea that women would be denied the option is reprehensible. If men went through menopause you can be sure that no option would be off the table, women deserve no less.

Hear their stories. Protect their own words. Protect their access to compounded medicines.

On this page, we can only touch on the data that demonstrates the importance of compounded medicines to the lives of millions of people in this country. While the decision to take this vital therapy from patients and physicians might be profitable for big pharmaceutical companies, it will be disastrous for the millions of patients that those same pharmaceutical companies cannot serve!

We encourage the appropriate committees in both the House and Senate to hold hearings on this critical issue.
