“I had a lot of issues, and feel better having help from my doctor and the apothecary/ compound therapy”

Well, I have had Lyme disease for 11 years, and it has changed my life in so many ways. About six years ago I had a Hysterectomy because I was so worn out when I'd get my period. My periods were so painful. Before that happened I was taking a lot of prescriptions for Lyme disease and had two miscarriages. Now I take hormone replacements from the Apothecary here in Sartell Minnesota. I feel so much better, I'm way more balanced. I take a compound prescription also for inflammation which has helped me a ton because I have so many allergies to pain meds my body can't handle them. Plus when I have taken them I can't go to the bathroom. I also have all of my large intestines on my left side and have ended up in the ER several times because I can't get to the bathroom. I also have a thyroid condition. The Apothecary has helped me in so many ways, oh, and just an FYI this is not covered by insurance I pay for this out of pocket, and happy to do so to improve my quality of 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.
