I had a hysterectomy and ovarectomy at the age of 43 and immediately went into menopause. I began having hot flashes every two hours, day and night. My doctors gave me oral hormones (estrodial and testosterone) but they gave me migraines. I was getting between two and four hours of sleep. Finally a new doctor put me on the estrodial patch and topical testosterone. The hot flashes are much reduced. I have none during the day and am getting six hours of sleep a night. I also began to have vaginal atrophy and compounded estriol has really helped with my ability to urinate.

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.
