I started out many years ago using Estrace cream, due to vaginal dryness. Using a coupon through Estrace, I got it for $10 a tube. Then when I used Medicare they denied Estrace cream and only offered Estradiol cream; cost right at $140/tube. Right after I was diagnosed with Lichens Sclerous disease and noticed the Estradiol cream caused added irritation to this disease. My OBGYN suggested using a compounded estradiol formula, it only has estradiol and vanicream as a additive in it. Whereas, prescription estradiol has multiple additives. Since going on the the compounded estradiol my quality of life went up tremendously. No added irritation to the complications of Lichen Sclerous and it has saved me so much in prescription cost. This has been a true blessing since I am on a fixed income. I pray they do not take the compounding option away.

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.
