HRT is vital to my health

After a hysterectomy in 2001, I began to take Rx hormone replacement therapy first as a patch and later as a cream the result was MULTIPLE breast lumps! Not to bore you with all the in-between but finally, one of my doctors suggested speaking with a compound pharmacist who in my mind saved my life! He figured out that I was estrogen dominant and was able to compound me a formula of HRT that best suited me and as a result NO breast lumps. Fast forward 22 years when a nurse practitioner decided to take me off the HRT...worth a try. The result...incontinence!. I went through multiple uncomfortable evaluations and tried multiple Rx with a urologist. In the end, it was decided that I should go back on my compounded HRT...the results were positive...no more incontinence, and no more breast lumps. If compounding HRT is no longer an option I don't know what I will do.

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.
