I spent a few years on an estrogen blocker and my primary side effects were joint aches, difficulty with concentration, and temporary hot flashes. When the estrogen blocker was eventually discontinued, the joint pain and foggy thinking remained. I have experienced significant improvement on compounded bi-Est even though the dosage is very low. My physician can choose a dosage that is geared and adjusted specifically for my needs with the lowest effective amount. He can make minute adjustments with unlimited choices, as far as I understand, so that the medication is custom made for me and my symptoms, if they change over time.

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.
