I had a hysterectomy due to endometriosis at age 30. By my late 30's, I was experiencing intolerable menopausal symptoms. I tried every form of estrogen/progesterone replacement therapy available from pharmaceutical companies, including Premarin and various patches, without relief. Premarin actually made me feel worse. I finally found a physician who recommended compounded estrogen and progesterone - the dose could be adjusted to my needs. I felt better immediately, though it took a few years to get things balanced correctly for me. Neither I nor my husband can imagine going back to the misery of how I felt before compounded HRT was available to me.

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.
