Having a history of sensitivities and reactions to traditional pharmaceuticals in pill form (especially soy-derived products, but also others with fillers), I have used compounded HRT for at least a decade. My progesterone is compounded with gel capsules. Our local compounding pharmacy is professional, responsive, and caring. I trust the product they provide me to be safe and have had no negative experience whatsoever with compounded estradiol or progesterone products. Eliminating compounded pharmaceuticals in favor of those manufactured only by big pharma is like shutting down all small organic produce growers and their farmer's markets. It benefits no one but big industry.
