“Life Changing”

I quit having my period in my early 20s. I was told that it would lead to negative health effects and tried many times to take the pill and then prescription progesterone from the regular pharmacy. I had major side effects on all these from severe low blood pressure to extreme mood swings to finally severe pain. The last pharmacy progesterone I tried trigger severe body and joint pain that has taken me years to try to get under control. When I was first suggested to try a compounded progesterone, I was nervous of what they side effects would be. Amazingly I had no negative side effects, but for the first time in years I started to get deeper and more refreshing sleep. I also started having my period again.
After being on this several year, I was recommended to try compounded bio-identical testosterone since I was very low. I again started at a very low dose and it has been another game changer for me. It has helped my myofascial muscle pain and energy levels from chronic fatigue. Last year when my husband was furloughed during the pandemic, I quit using the testosterone cream every night and I notice a negative difference in my health.
My prescribing doctor stays on top of checking my labs regularly to make sure I stay within my optimal range of both my progesterone and testosterone. I cannot image having to stop taking these, my quality of life would suffer greatly.

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.
