Compounded medicine is a vital solution to my autoimmune problems

Dear Congressperson,

I am a patient with an autoimmune disorder that compounded hormone therapy has made all the difference in my quality of life. It was able to give me the active form of a hormone that my body does not make enough of, and without it, I have overwhelming fatigue, skin problems, eye issues, depression and other symptoms. This therapy has been crucial in me being a happy, vital person, family member and productive member of society. Without it, I would be barely able to function or work. Please protect my access, as well as many others', to continue having this vital compounded medicine. Thank you for your thoughtful consideration of this matter.

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.
