“I have my bloodwork done and the hormones are made for just ...”

I have my bloodwork done and the hormones are made for just me. I have had terrible hot flashes that greatly affect my quality of life. The hormone replacement has taken care of not having the hot flashes. I have had normal mammograms/uterus ultrasounds and bone density tests and all have been normal. I have been on these hormones for over 15 years. At one point I stopped, thinking I no longer needed them, and my hot flashes were back within two weeks. I feel I have very monitored care from my doctor and pharmicist. When I see a gynocologist, they want to put me on anti-depressants for my hot flashes. That makes no sense to me. I am not able to talk to some of my doctors about being on HRT. They shut down right away. I do not feel that they have done the research on them. If I ever do have any issues or questions my HRT pharmacist is always available for consultation and has always been able to help me. My doctor too. I will be 68 years old and I hope to be able to take these for the rest of my 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.
