After a year of severe dehydration, dry eye, and three medical providers either not taking my symptoms seriously or not believing it could be hormonal, I was finally tested for hormone levels. At 41 years old, it was determined I have low progesterone. Using a compounded cream, I have been able to dial in to a dosage that works for me. It took a lot of dosing adjustments to find what works for me. My OBGYN is very supportive of this type of treatment because it allows me to come much closer to what I need than other treatments that are currently FDA approved. This has allowed me to continue my office job, and provide for my family, as I am the primary wage earner. Prior to this treatment, my eyes were so bad, it was questionable how I would continue to work outside the home.

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.
