“In my late 40's early 50's I started to have depression anxi...”

In my late 40's early 50's I started to have depression anxiety issues. I began counseling and after many sessions without much results and terrible side effects form anti-depression drugs, my therapist suggested seeing a hormone specialist. I had a blood test done and my testosterone was very low. This explained my zero energy, no sex drive and massive drop in my ability to exercise. This all led to my depression as I had always been very active. My wife was struggling with me as I wasn't the man she married. After a couple changes of dosage in my testosterone cream, all my energy came back and my sex drive. The commercial grade testosterone didn't offer the dosage I needed. I've been on it for 10 years and my quality of life is so greatly improved, it scares me to think it could be taken away! This treatment saved my 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.
