“My doctor, through blood work, determined I had low testoste...”

My doctor, through blood work, determined I had low testosterone. I had no energy, no sex drive, and do desire to do much of anything but sit. My doctor prescribed Androgel, and I used two pumps once a day. My quality of life got much better. I wanted to be active once again, and my blood work showed normal levels of testosterone once again. The cost was about $50 per month on the insurance that I had at the time. When I went on Medicare, Part C the cost of the Androgel rose to $700 per month, and I could no longer afford it. I switched to compounded testosterone at a cost of about $45 per month. My blood work still shows normal levels of testosterone and I still feel the same as when I was on the Androgel, which is good.

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.
