“Incontinence miracle”

I'm 81 years old and had been struggling with incontinence for years. After my husband died, I started having really high blood pressure and my doctors have struggled to control it. My incontinence became so severe that I could not step without urinating, grocery shopping would be awful. After failing multiple prescription drugs that elevated my blood pressure, my compounding pharmacist suggested a hormone vaginal cream. In 1 month I went from wearing the highest absorbency diapers and changing them all day long, to one thin pad for 24 hours. My incontinence is resolved with a cream that's cost-effective and works well. I am able to go on walks again, have good hygiene, and no longer feel embarrassed shopping for groceries.

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.
