I had a hysterectomy in 2007 at the age of 55. I started taking Prempro, which I didn't like. The fact they were using horse urine was one of the reasons I stopped taking it. Plus I didn't like the way it made me feel and I try to limit what I take orally. I then started using estradiol patches and a compounding progesterone cream in 2008. I still use these today. I feel my hormones are balanced. I tried progesterone orally and didn't think it was doing anything. I can actually feel the cBHT progesterone cream working after I apply it. I have also tried other compounding pharmacy progesterone creams that didn't do anything. I don't have a uterus but using estradiol and progesterone makes me feel good. I have also tried just taking using the estradiol alone but always went back to getting the progesterone cream.

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.
