I am a wife & mother to five busy kids ages 6 to 19. I had a hysterectomy & my only remaining ovary removed right before I turned 41 due to a mass on that ovary. I was in surgical menopause & I was scared of what future health hurdles I would encounter. My doctor referred me immediately to Pharmacy Solutions/compound hormone therapy. He said that is where I will end up anyway. I am thankful he was concerned about my quality of life & my health. The hormones are necessary for my bone health, heart health, & cognitive health. They also help with hot flashes & my irritable moods. Without this personalized medicine, I would not be able to enjoy life to the fullest, have a happy marriage, or be the present mother my kids need me to be. We live in the greatest/richest country in the world where we should be able to make decisions about our own health & also have the ability to have access to the best options for our health. My situation is very unique & not a one size fits all situation!

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.
