I have been using bio-identical hormone therapy from a compounding pharmacy for 5 years. I chose this route as the commercial products did not work for me. 1. I cannot tolerate corn oil, which is what the generic Prometrium contains. 2. I cannot tolerate the adhesive of the only estradiol topical option that is available. Generic pharmaceuticals are limited in not only their dose options but also their delivery methods. I have had breast and GYN surveillance since using these compounded products and there are no problems. They have saved my marriage and many other health issues. Before using compounded hormones, I could not sleep as I suffered from night sweats, depression, and anxiety. Compounded hormones have helped so much, they have saved me from having to take many other unnecessary drugs.
Although every woman could benefit from hormone therapy, not every woman is the same. The ability to have options for dosing and application are very important.
Don't take away our right to choose options in healthcare.
Sincerely
Kelly Parcell
