“Compounded HRT has positively impacted my quality of life”

Earlier this year I decided to explore HRT due to multiple symptoms I was having that were increasing and affecting the quality of life I've always been used to. I lived a full and active life at 57 years but things were changing over the last several years, enough to notice something was going on.
I wasn't looking for a "magic pill" but something that would help me (not mask a problem) and that I could financially sustain long-term. I interviewed multiple places and ended up working with my compounding pharmacist who works "in conjunction" with my doctor, a partnership which was majorly important to me so both were involved in knowing what I was doing. I do the cream application with progesterone pill at night.
I felt this was more suitable for me. Since being on HRT I've noticed many positive changes - regular sleeping, less brain fog, overall physical vitality and mental health. Understanding my hormones are not what they were and seeing test results that showed various levels of hormones really opened my eyes to why I felt that way and now seeing those same results in relation to how I feel now is like night and day! Should compounding HRT be removed it would severely affect women who need it, myself included. I urge the FDA to NOT restrict compounded hormones and in fact, look at all the benefits they provide!

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.
