“I have had testicular cancer twice in my life, therefore, I ...”

I have had testicular cancer twice in my life, therefore, I cannot create my own testosterone. So I require compounded therapy in order for me to feel normal. I have tried other therapies in the past 25 years, i.e., patches, implants, injection, but they either cause allergic reactions or were painful and a hassle. Today, I use a compound cream every single day. It is customized to the dose my doctor prescribes and it has no unneeded additives that could cause allergies. Without my compounded cream, I would suffer from allergic reactions and not feel well at all. The compounded cream that I use does well for me. Why would I want to change that?

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.
