If this really does no harm then why restrict this? My doctor closely monitors my blood work to keep my thyroid as well other hormones that I administer by a cream. It helps with my well-being. It appears that the FDA continues to try and put these small compound pharmacies out of business.
I suffered from chronic bronchitis for years taking medicines that the large pharmacy pushed. I was allergic to filler in the product. I went to specialists and found no relief until my primary doctor and I tried different medication. My symptoms disappeared in two weeks. If there had not been a local compounding pharmacy, I would still be suffering.
Again, it is a combination of compounded prescriptions that I get at my own expense that keeps me healthy, which includes hormone therapy.
Please do not take this choice from me as what is approved may not be the best solution for me. My doctor re-evaluates every three-six months and will tweak the prescription as necessary.
