“Difficult to balance”

Peri and menopause hit me harder than just about anyone I know. I suffered immensely for several months with a long list of symptoms like insomnia, pain, mood irregularities, hot flashes and more. I thought my life was over. I eventually learned about hormone replacement therapy. I decided to give it a try, and while FDA-approved synthetic hormone replacement therapy provided some relief, I still had numerous symptoms and poor quality of life. It was until I found a prescriber who helped me through the long process of finding the right balance for me that my life was restored. I felt like I came back from the living dead. I need compounded hormone replacement tailored to ME. I am so very worried that this option will be taken away from me and that I will once again be disabled by symptoms. I truly hope we are allowed access to compounded hormone replacement therapy under the care of a qualified prescriber.

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.
