I was dealing with a lot of other health issues and crazy life crises when the hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, mood swings, and migraines got out of control. Compounded bio-identical hormones (in very small doses-not much needed!) changed my ability to function, get control of the other issues and ultimately save my marriage because I was able to have sex again and not be in the corner crying every other minute.
I have benefited from this medicine greatly, I know many other people who have as well. This attempt at yet another overreach by the FDA is highly unwelcome.
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.
