“My quality of life as well as my husband...greatly improved.”

Due to medical issues, I had a complete hysterectomy at the age of 26. I was then given a one size fits all hormone pill. I began having debilitating migraine headaches that prevented me from living my life. I suffered with these headaches for a number of years. I tried different forms of hormone replacement but never received the relief I so desperately wanted from the headaches. My husband did research as well, and learned of compounding formulas. Since I had received the hysterectomy at such a young age it was ridiculous to think that a pill would replace my normal hormone levels. I met with my doctor and the compounding pharmacist and it was decided I would try a compounded troche. After a month of using the troches, my headaches lessened and were less intense. I am happy to report that I rarely have headaches now and enjoy a healthy life without having to use pain medications. My quality of life as well as my husband and families quality of life greatly improved. I am most thankful that we found the compounding pharmacy and the compounded troches.

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.
