“My physician detected by 24 hour urine test, that I was some...”

My physician detected by 24 hour urine test, that I was somewhat deficient in testosterone. I preferred to avoid injections becuase they caused injection site pain afterward. Also, nobody likes sticking themselves on a regular basis. When I first started uising testosterone, it made my estrogen levels jump because testosterone is converted into estrogen by aromatase enzyme. An adjustment was made to the compound by my physician to add Anastrazole, an aromatase inhibitor to the orescrition. This solved the problem. After this was settled, my testosterone levels started to go just a little too high. My doctor was able to easily adjust my prescription to use 25% less of the cream, which I did and my hormone levels normalized. This type of fine tuning of my prescription was only availlable for a compounded hormone. I am so glad that this medical service was available to me as a patient.

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.
