I was poisoned by an overdose of progesterone prescribed and unproperly monitored by my MD. This overdose nearly killed me with extraordinarily high levels in my system. I found a functional medicine physician who was able to diagnose the cause of my problems and GRADUALLY adjust my dosages (after completely weaning me off) to the correct level only through the use of cream hormone therapy. As you know, progesterone only comes in 100mg pill doses which would have damaged my health further. At the same time my specialist was able to micro adjust my estrogen and estrodial prescription over a period of six months to find the right formula to normalize my hormones. This would have been impossible with pills. Without access to compounded hormone creams, I might not be here today.

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.
