Compounded Hormones are Life Changing!

I’ve been on compounded hormones for 13 years and they have been life-changing. I had terrible menopausal symptoms that started around age 50. I was unable to sleep and unable to function as a result. Within three days of starting Bioidentical Hormones, my symptoms improved. I continued taking BHRT for the next 12 years. I felt human again! At age 62 I thought I would stop BHRT and see what life would be like without it. Within about 10 months I had complete vaginal atrophy that was painful. I no longer felt like myself with extreme fatigue and little zest for life. Two months ago I contacted my prior provider and went back on BHRT. What a difference! Once again I feel alive! I can’t imagine going through the rest of my life without the BHRT! In my case, it was a lifesaver. I am so grateful that bio-identical hormones are available to all who need them. We must keep it this way!

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.
