I have no ovaries and require compounded hormones to be a functioning person. The dosages I need are not offered in any FDA medication. For example, I cannot tolerate even the lowest dose of Prometrium, but I can get the correct lower dosage from a compounding pharmacy. I also have a compounded testosterone prescription as the FDA dosages are only for males; my body needs it, but doesn't make ANY on its own due to my bilateral oophorectomy. If I couldn't get compounded hormones, I honestly would not have an acceptable quality of life, and the thought of that makes me panic.

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.
