“Compounded estrogen hormone therapy”

After having a hysterectomy at a young pre-menopausal age, my doctor and I decided that it would be good for me to take a compounded estrogen hormone therapy called bi-est. It worked well for me for several years.
I certainly respect doctors and pharmacists who are familiar with compounded medicines and prescribe and mix them for individual patients. I very much hope the FDA is not planning to restrict or take away this option for people. Not everyone can take the medications pharmaceutical companies put out on the market.

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.
