cBHT has provided a very low cost alternative to a non-compounded hormone treatment that I require. This has resulted in an annual savings of $708/year due to a significant price increase for my previous non-compounded hormone. In addition, the cBHT hormone has managed my symptoms better than the previous non-compounded choice. This will likely be a lifelong treatment therefore the cost burden and the negative impact on quality of like would be considerable if compounded hormone options are discontinued.
