I had a hysterectomy and bilateral oophorectomy when I was 41 years old. After having hot flashes and vaginal dryness following this, I tried oral hormones, but did not feel well, and I struggled with feeling moderate depression. I also tried patches and gels but never felt "well". After hearing the success of compounded hormone use among other women I knew, I decided to try that therapy mode. It was not easy to find a physician who offered that kind of HRT, but I did find remarkable results once I started using it. I felt truly "well", like I had once felt before my surgery. I am a health professional and in the past I would have scoffed at the effectiveness of using compounded hormones, but I have truly found it to be a life changing therapy in my life.

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.
