After a total hysterectomy I was put on an estradiol patch, but found that I was still having some unpleasant symptoms. My OBGYN doctor recommended a testosterone/progesterone cream compounded by a local compounding chemist. We have tweaked the dosage over the years, but I have been thrilled with the results. Insurance has never paid for it, and it is a financial strain on our budget, but we have paid out of pocket for it for over 20 years because of its effectiveness. Please do not let the FDA take this away from me!

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.
