I had a vaginal fissure and used hormonal therapy and a compounded traumeel skin ointment to treat the tissue so that it could heal non-surgically. That was successful. I currently use a compounded hormonal cream to maintain the tissue post menopause. This cream when I tried to buy it name brand was over $300 through my insurance. Doing it this way has been effective and much cheaper. I have the compounding pharmacist and my doctor to answer questions about my treatment. If I did not have insurance (as a self employed person, I was on the ACA until my husband got insurance), non-compounded treatment would have been out of reach financially.

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.
