I began bioidentical hormones back in 2003 as a treatment for hot flashes, night sweats, and to keep my system functioning at an optimal level. I continue to use the cream today and feel great. I am thankful that I have access to a treatment that is safe, natural, and addresses more than just menopausal symptoms. I would be very angry if a decision was made to discontinue compounding pharmaceuticals. I value my option to have a choice between all treatments.
