“I take low dose compounded hormones once a week for good reason”

Every female on my mother's side of my family has suffered from hot flashes and night sweats until they died from age 80 to 95! I started taking the drug when I began going through menopause at 50 and suffered from the same life-disrupting symptoms. I would "flush" red so drastically that people thought I was having a stroke or something equally as life-threatening. The compounded hormones are the only way I can maintain a normal life. I know this. Every time I would try to stop taking this medication within 3 or 4 months the symptoms would come back full force.

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.

We encourage the appropriate committees in both the House and Senate to hold hearings on this critical issue.
