Bio-identical hormones are essential to my health

A few years ago I had some blood work done and found out why I hadn't been feeling well. My female hormone production was almost non-existent and I was only 39. My doctor prescribed hormones through a regular pharmacy. After taking them for just 2 months, I had gained over 20 pounds. Not wanting to jeopardize my health with excessive weight gain, I asked my doctor for another option. That's when he suggested bio-identical hormones. Since taking them, my life has improved immensely! My moods are stable, I have a normal sex-drive again, I'm not depressed and I'm able to think more clearly. Rather than restricting access to these hormones, the FDA should consider promoting them for more women like me who struggle with depression, mood swings and no sex-drive. Thank you for allowing me to share my story.

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.

Explore our interactive map that demonstrates the importance of compounded medicines to patients all across the country. Filter these first-hand accounts by state to see just how vital compounded medicines are.
