After years of low testosterone levels, a physician recommended that I start testosterone to increase energy and libido. It worked wonders on my energy level. Then my insurance carrier told me I had fallen into a donut hole and the copay was going from $30 to $500! However, I could get it compounded at a small pharmacy and it would cost $35 outside insurance. Same potency, same effect. I found that was true, and had it compounded for several years with no problems. Then the pharmacy called and told me big democratic government was increasing regulations so as to make it not worthwhile to continue. So I found a bigger compounding pharmacy and they are doing great, at a slightly higher price. Now, apparently, big pharmaceutical companies are trying to eliminate competition, and use the government socialist trend to force out the compounding labs so they can continue to make very unreasonable profits. This will result in more business for foreign pharmacy mail order and I am opposed to this trend. I will support whichever politician that stands for free enterprise rather than unwarranted restrictions. Big pharmaceutical and insurance industries are making huge profits while making the American health care financial billing system a disaster.

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.
