I was perimenopausal in my late 30's. I started experiencing painful intercourse. I was not able to use available hormonal meds such as Premarin (pill or cream), because I'd had blood clots in both lungs from birth control pills in my 20's. This was in 1974. I cannot imagine how awful my life would have been these past 30 years (I'm 70) were it not for my prescriber and the compounding pharmacists. The form of estrogen in the cream is of a type that stays in the vaginal tissues and vastly decreases pain during intercourse. I cannot take anything that could enter my bloodstream; otherwise, I could develop clots again.

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.
