United States

In the United States, millions of people depend on compounded medicines to live normal, productive, healthy lives. Their first-hand stories speak directly to the power of this important therapy. As the FDA considers removing access to certain medicines like compounded hormones, their voices must be part of the conversation.

I can now function, due to cBHT. Before that, my symptoms were so bad I couldn't function. I care about what I put in my body and am very sensitive. I have multiple food allergies. Using a compound pharmacy, I can have any allergies removed. I want to continue to have the right to choose what I put into my body.

“I have tried other therapies unsuccessfully. My hormone leve...”

I have tried other therapies unsuccessfully. My hormone levels are now finally all within normal ranges on a compounded bioidentical replacement hormone. In fact, all of my blood work is now at ideal levels. I have a right to choose the therapies that my doctor deems right for me. My data suggests that my doctor and I have made the right decision for me in choosing a compounded bioidentical replacement hormone. The government has no right to interfere in these very personal and individualized choices.

“Prior to using cBHT I was experiencing severe abdominal pain...”

Prior to using cBHT I was experiencing severe abdominal pain from endometriosis and ovarian cysts. I ended up having surgery, but within a couple months the pain returned. After using cBHT for a couple of weeks, the pain was gone. I continued using cBHT until I started menopause (about eight years) and didn't have any issues during that time. It worked wonders and saved me from having a hysterectomy.

Many of my patients have pulled themselves out of living a sedentary lifestyle. A sedentary lifestyle over several years is associated with increased risk for type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and premature mortality. What is much less appreciated is the high cost of physical inactivity even in the short term.

“Without BHRT I can't think clearly. I have terrible hot flas...”

Without BHRT I can't think clearly. I have terrible hot flashes every two hours and can't sleep through the night. My hair falls out and I have painful intercourse. With BHRT all of these sypmtoms are better or gone. I need compounded progesterone with estrogen and testosterone. My symptoms are worse without bioidentical progesterone and this protects my bones as well as protects me from potential cancers.

As a menopausal woman, I literally had years of insomnia. I did not want to take prescription sleeping pills and over the counter solutions did not work for me. I went to a Naturopathic doctor who put me on a regime which included a compound progesterone cream. I had almost immediate relief and have been sleeping well for over two years.

I began cBHT five years ago and would never want to stop. The effects have been tremendous on my self esteem as a sensual/sexual woman. I dropped about 10 pounds in the first year- mostly around my waist. I feel healthy, spry, and energetic. I sleep eight or nine hours per night. My mood fluctuations have disappeared and so have the hot flashes. I have an extraordinary love life with my forever partner thanks to cBHT.

Hear their stories, in their own words. Protect their access to compounded hormones.

On this page, we can only touch on the data that demonstrates the importance of compounded hormones to the lives of millions of women in this country. While the decision to take this vital therapy from patients and physicians might be profitable for the 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.

Preserve compounded hormones.
