My testosterone was notably low and involved in causing notable osteoporosis found on a Dexa Scan as well as improving my overall strength and well-being. Typical proprietary formulations of topical gels (it should not be administered orally) today run around $700/month whereas compounded generic testosterone costs between $25 to $50/month. I buy a 90 day supply for $135 vs $2100 for a drug company preparation of the same medication. Given that Medicare and most insurance drug plans do not cover this medication, it outrageous for one to consider stopping compounding pharmacies from preparing the medication. I speak with some authority in this regard as I am not only a patient but also a fully trained pharmacist who went on to be medical doctor. Generic testosterone had been around for decades. The only justification for considering further restrictions on compounding hormonal products is to further enrich drug companies and unscrupulous entrepreneurs.

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.
