“I had a full hysterectomy, including ovaries at 43 years.”

I had a full hysterectomy, including ovaries at 43 years. It put me into menopause immediately. At the time I lived in Washington state. My surgeon prescribed me the manufactured hormones in the form of a patch. I had a terrible experience with that as I was allergic and it would leave red blotches all over my body. It also did not work, I was depressed, tired and irritable. I still had hot flashes and lost all sexual drive. I went years like that, miserable. Then I moved to Arizona and was told about the Medical spas here and the bio hormones in the form of pellets. I decided to try it as I was desperate for anything to help me. A few weeks after I received the pellets I started to notice a change. I had energy and I literally felt the darkness lift. 6 months later I felt like I was 30 again. I cannot imagine life without my pellets. I feel great, have energy, my sex drive is normal and I am able to live my life without fatigue, hot flashes and misery. Why would anyone want to take that away from women like me? I am outraged that the FDA is even considering this.

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.
