“For patients like me who are allergic to “mainstream” pharmaceuticals, compounded medicine is necessary.”

In 2019, I suffered a health crisis visiting multiple doctors until I was blessed with two physicians, my endocrinologist and a gynecologist who helped me get my life back. First, I changed my thyroid medication to Tirosint-SOL which my doctor has to fight my insurance company to pay for because it isn’t Synthroid or a generic. I become very ill when I take Synthroid or it’s generic due to all its dyes/fillers. Secondly, compounded Biest and natural progesterone troche was the addition that has helped me make the most progress. For patients like me who are allergic to many dyes/fillers in “mainstream” pharmaceuticals, compounded medicine is necessary. Please continue to allow doctors the freedom to do what is best for their patients by prescribing compounded prescriptions from accredited compounding pharmacies. Thank you!!

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.
