I had successfully used cBHT for post-menopausal issues, including bone density loss, memory loss, very low muscle mass retention, and for depression/mood. The low doses I was on seemed to even out my life. My insurance stopped covering cBHT, so I tried other prescription alternatives instead of paying the $150 + for my usual meds. My marriage almost fell apart because of the physical and emotional roller coaster these different meds put me on. I am 61 years old. I started post-menopausal bleeding daily, I had low abdominal cramps and my breasts were terribly swollen and sore. I felt mildly depressed and anxious all the time. My blood levels came back as normal. This lasted for four months! I finally went back on the compounded meds and my life is back to normal. Fortunately, my insurance consortium was able to override my insurance and cover my compounded medications. What a disaster that could have been!

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.
