Compounded Thyroid replacement

I have required Thyroid replacement therapy for 29 of my 69 years on earth, and I have been prescribed various FDA-approved pharmaceuticals, including Synthroid, Thyrolar, etc. In each case, I broke out in hives! I do not know what particular chemical that is in these medicines that I am allergic to, but I am NOT allergic to the compounded Thyroid hormone therapy. I would prefer to buy cheap HRTs that insurance would pay for, but I simply CANNOT TOLERATE them. So instead, I self-pay for the cBHRTs that I can take. PLEASE DO NOT RESTRICT COMPOUNDED HORMONE THERAPIES!!! I don't know how I can function without the only form of thyroid my body can tolerate.

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.
