“My mother had breast cancer, and I did not want to take high levels...”

My mother had breast cancer and so I did not want to take high levels of animal hormones. I took those until age 63 but was still having hot flashes and night sweats. I am a medical technologist so I found a doctor who would work with me on saliva testing annually and bioidentical hormones. Since I switched, I have been able to stop the night sweats and feel this is safer. I did not like knowing that horses were abused to produce estrogen. We have the right to try law and I will do all in my power to make sure this is available for me and my daughters.

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.
