“Compounded Hormones Have Made Me Feel Like Me Again”

After I went through menopause I felt like something was terribly wrong with me. I had previously been quick-minded, had plenty of energy, slept through the night, and desired intimacy with my husband. But several years later, I had just lost the me that I knew. My OBGYN encouraged me to have my hormones tested and it confirmed what he had expected. My body had stopped making nearly all of my natural hormones. I was testing far below the normal range for my age on every test. He recommended compounded hormones--natural hormones that were specifically compounded for me and my specific needs based on my testing. These hormones have changed my life and have brought me back to the me I had always known. I will be devastated if I can no longer have access to these. They are as medically necessary for my health and well-being as any other medicine people must take. I have my blood/hormones tested annually and we make adjustments as needed. Please do NOT take away our access to these important and necessary compounds.

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.
