Compounding is the only way I can receive medications.

“Compounding is the only way I can receive medications.”

I was chemically poisoned with a chemical called ortho dichlorobenzene in 1981. With that happening, I have endured tremendous sensitivities to many different products and foods throughout my adult years causing loss of employment and opportunities, besides the complete deterioration of my health. Upon being diagnosed with hypothyroidism in 1994, I was prescribed Synthroid, Levothyroxine to finally Armour Thyroid, and NP Thyroid. Unfortunately, my TSH constantly fluctuated and I felt completely unwell all the time. With my own research, I discovered all contained corn or a derivative of it. Because of my corn allergy and other sensitivities, my doctor prescribed compounded desiccated thyroid. It has been a lifesaver! My TSH has been level since the change, 3 years ago. A first in 25 years! Now all my prescriptions have to be compounded.

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.
