My compounded hormone therapy works better than big pharma pills.

I began hormone therapy by taking prescribed pills that I filled at the local CVS pharmacy. After a week or so, my stomach upset was unbearable. The only option for Progesterone was an orange pill, but I don't usually swallow anything with orange/red dye because it makes the skin around my eyes swell. (I have photos to document). So I called my gynecologist who suggested I use compounded hormones and visited with my local compounding pharmacist at The Apothecary Shop. Ms. Griggs is knowledgeable and easy to speak with. I have not had one ounce of trouble since starting the compounded formulas and feel so much better. DO NOT RESTRICT OR DENY ME MY LIFE-CHANGING COMPOUNDED DRUGS.

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.
