Deficient hormones need help...

I am a 76-year-old woman. I have been using bio-identical hormone replacement therapy since 1996. Without it, my estrogen level is far below the minimum for functionality. If I take the prescription Estrogen, I don't get the 2 estrogens I need without the third estrogen, which I test very high for. Every year I am tested to see the exact amount of each of the estrogens, progesterone, and if needed testosterone, that my body requires. My vagina is starting to atrophy, and the only solution that is purely what I need and nothing else is a compounded estrogen gel to use twice a week. No patch or prescription can individualize the hormones I need to avoid depression, brain fog, sexual dysfunction, or good quality of life. Thanks for reading my story.

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.
