“Had there not been a compounded alternative, I still would be suffering...”

I suffered from a terrible case of Guillain Barre after my body responded with an autoimmune response following tetanus and flu shot 10 years ago. I have had to carefully figure out how to regain my health over this past decade. With the help of fantastic physicians, I have been able slowly to regain my health. My physicians, board-certified, have used all modalities to help in my treatment and this includes the use of compounded medications. Often, I could not tolerate or there was no medication available for my specific condition. Had there not been a compounded alternative, I still would be suffering and would not be a functioning mother, wife, and citizen. Please keep compounded alternative options available for patients and their physicians. They work and are a safe alternative for millions across the country.

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.
