“Compounded meds are crucial for my immune system”

WITH MANY ALLERGIES DUE TO SEVERE CELIAC DISEASE I RELY ON COMPOUNDED MEDS TO BE ABLE TO LIVE. I CAN NOT HAVE REGULAR FORMULATIONS OF MEDS FOR THYROID, PROGESTERONE OR OTHER HORMONE REGULATING MEDS. ALSO CURRENTLY USING LDN COMPOUNDED. THEY MUST BE COMPLETELY ALLERGEN FREE FOR ME AND THAT MEANS NO DAIRY, NO SUGAR NO GLUTEN, NO WHEAT, NO SOY, NO MILK ETC ETC. ETC. I CURRENTLY USE CREAMS MADE FROM YAMS OR FOR PILLS ( LDN - LOW DOSE NALTREXONE THE ONLY FILLER IS MICROCRYSTALLINE CELLULOSE. SO IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT COMPOUNDED MEDS BE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE AND PATIENTS BE ALLOWED TO HAVE THEM COMPOUNDED ACCORDING TO THEIR SYSTEMS REQUIREMENTS. ALSO MEDICAID OR OTHER INSURANCE NEEDS TO BE ABLE TO COVER IT. WITHOUT THIS PEOPLE LIKE ME CANT FUNCTION RIGHT AND WILL GROW OLD PREMATURELY.

UNEMPLOYED SENIOR FEMALE ON WELFARE BARELY GETTING BY. I NEED MY HORMONE MEDS EVERY DAY. THERE IS NO WAY IN U NO WHAT THAT I AM GOING TO START FALLING DOWN OR USING A CANE OR A WALKER. F THAT NOISE. NO TY. NO OFFENSE.

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.
