“A nurse's prospective on cBHT”

Thank you for reading my story. I've suffered migraines my whole life that became exponentially worse as menopause began. The cBHT was the magic cure. The headaches were not just reduced, they disappeared. This is a level of "normalness" I had never experienced. The pharmacist who compounds my hormones is a trusted part of my medical team. As a nurse, I understand the value of a competent medical team. It seems to me that if we are already regulating and licensing pharmacists, that means they have been adequately educated, trained, and confirmed by a government agency to be a specialist in their profession and craft. Why would they not be trusted by the FDA to perform the very tasks for which they are trained? Redirecting the compounding of something so personal and unique to each woman to a very impersonal pharmaceutical company seems like it would significantly reduce the ability to properly dose and treat a woman for her individual needs and likely increase costs, which would price many out of access. Please leave compounding in the hands of skilled pharmacists for all of those very good reasons.
Thank you,

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.
