My hormone medication was recently on recall and I experienced two weeks of how I felt for YEARS. The inability to feel emotion, to move, to breathe easily... I was reminded of how much my hormonal imbalance affected my life for YEARS. I am 26 years old and should not be feeling the way I did. I should be full of energy and easily exercise. With Hashimoto's disease, among other things, my hormone imbalance caused so much distress on my life. I cannot express how important this type of medicine is to me. I would legitimately move out of the country if I was forced to stop using my daily prescriptions. Even with my medication I have good days and bad days. Again, I am 26 years old, I have an MBA and a bachelor's degree. I am highly educated and understand how medicine can play such a vital role in the health and well-being of others. Why would anyone want to take away such a gift that is so often, overlooked by a majority of the medical field? Why don't we focus these erroneous efforts on other important things, like curing cancer.

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.

Explore our interactive map that demonstrates the importance of compounded medicines to patients all across the country. Filter these first-hand accounts by state to see just how vital compounded medicines are.
