“Caring deeper about patients as an Individual”

I’m new to the compounding world of medicine and I would trust a compounded medication from a PCAB accredited pharmacy any day over a regular pharmacy. Compounding pharmacies make the medication specific to the patients needs. If each human had the same DNA a regular pharmacy might be suitable. Personally I don’t consider myself one of the herd, and I don’t want to get prescribed something made commercially in mass quantities when it can be made specific from results that my blood tests show.
Just because it is the right level of something made in a commercial drug does not mean your body is meant to accept for instance hormones derived from horse urine! I work for a pharmacy that cares and specializes in bio identical hormones and they are derived from yams and are “identical “ to the hormones we humans produce. Horse urine is not ok nor is it identical even though it works it takes longer for the body to accept because it has to mutate to create. So 100% yes we need compounding pharmacies and the medication they make specific to patients needs. Don’t stop us from providing the real reason medication was meant to be made and that is to help the individual not the quantified outlook everyone seems to take on this. Healthcare is about the care of the individual and so is compounded medication. If you Care about the people as a individual and not a general population whom is uneducated on a matter at hand you’ll know why this is so important.

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.
