I had to have a hysterectomy at age 50. I first tried the patch, but had to keep increasing the dose every year. I then tried the estrogen pill but did not care for the accompanying nausea and it did not take care of all of my postmenopausal symptoms. I tried the troches, based on my lab results and levels, and BINGO! What a difference! I eventually got tired of the goopy troche and switched to the quick dissolve formulation and have been on them ever since. I can't imagine having to try something else, since these are compounded based on MY own hormone levels, not some standard dose that is given out to anyone.

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.
