Since menopause, I have dealt with weight gain, low energy, low libido, and anorgasmia. The topical cream, carefully customized by my specialty pharmacy, based on my individual biochemical lab results as assessed by my physician has turned my life around. I’m only 65, and based on my family lifespans I have quite some time left on Earth. I hope very much to have my remaining years kept as vibrant as possible, and these compounded hormone creams enable my daily quality of life and marital relations to be strong, purposeful, and pleasurable. If my prescription is taken away, I’m uncertain what will take its place and do not know if something else will work for me. Why mess with a good thing?
Please don’t restrict compounded hormone treatments made by specialty pharmacies. I haven't heard of nor experienced any problems myself with a compounded hormone product. If the FDA restricts bio-identical hormones to people who are allergic to mass-manufactured products, it will affect and discriminate against way more women than men. This is absurd, irrational, and unconscionable. Please don’t take away my choices!
Pharmacists argue that compounded hormones are highly regulated by each state’s board of pharmacy and accreditation companies. The pharmacist who makes my product is a consummate professional who takes the time to answer any questions and explain details when I need it. I've met no one more competent and excellent at what they do. PLEASE DO NOT RESTRICT COMPOUNDING PHARMACIES.
