“Because of fibroid tumors, my ovaries and uterus were remove...”

Because of fibroid tumors, my ovaries and uterus were removed around age 40. I was given hormone patches, but the effect of the drop in hormones was devastating. For years I did not function and did not care about anything. My sister noticed the difference and suggested additional hormone therapy and set me up with doctors in my area who implanted hormone pellets. I was immediately more energized, and had excitement and stability in my life. After calculating how many implantations I would have over the course of my life, I switched to bioidentical lozenges. Hormones provide mental and emotional stability as well as increased physical fitness. All I have to do is miss several doses or look at others my age that are not on hormone therapy, to see the huge difference that health hormones make in my life.

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.
