“Hello, When I received notification that the FDA is conside...”

Hello, When I received notification that the FDA is considering eliminating compounded bio-identical hormone replacement therapy, I was HORRIFIED. For those who have never had to deal with hormonal imbalance, consider yourselves blessed. In my particular case, I struggled for at least a decade with severe depression, mood swings, hot flashes, catatonia, insomnia, and brain fog. I was unable to have a normal sex life with my husband due to excruciating pain. It felt like nothing short of a miracle when my doctor recommended bioidentical hormone replacement therapy for me. Before that, nothing worked. Furthermore, I'm sensitive to synthetic medications and so the "conventional" hormone therapy originally prescribed only exacerbated my issues. I ask that you take my experience, and the experience of thousands of other women, into consideration before you make a determination that would undermine our physical health and our mental state. To disallow this life saving medical option would be an egregious assault on our human rights. 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.
