I was a real 'mess', mentally and physically until my family doctor suggested that I try compounded bioidentical HRT. She referred my to an OBGYN who had me do a saliva test to check my hormone levels. After getting results, meds were compounded specifcially for me. After about two weeks, I was not having hot flashes, mood swings, and vaginal dryness, which was causing me to feel like I had a UTI. I just felt better all over! I have continued to stay on the bioidentical HRT for 13 years (I am now 68). My doctor makes sure that I get my annual mammogram which she gets the full report and compares to previous year along with a saliva test to make sure everything is balanced and nothing is too high or too low. She will not refill my bioidentical HRT unless I do the annual mammogram and saliva testing. She works with the compounding pharmacy if changes should be made. I cannot stress how it would benefit every woman to be able to have this as a choice to their medical care as they reach menopause. I plan on bioidentical HRT aways being a part of my medical care plan. It has been a true blessing. Central Compounding Center in Durham, NC and Dr. Sheila Allison, MD/Raleigh, NC are the best around. I don't know what I would have done without them! Please support a woman's right to choose with her doctor if bioidentical HRT is right for her when she reaches this stage in her 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.
