“Only hormone therapy has improved my bone density”

I have been taking compounded progesterone for 5 years along with getting the BioTe pellets every 4 months. 5 years ago, I had osteopenia in my back and both my hips as shown on a bone scan. % years later, my back is normal density and my hips have improved greatly in density. I am now 69 years old, a slender tall white woman whose mother has broken her hip, her pelvis and had 2 compression fractures in her back. I have participated in heavy weight lifting classes for 30 years now, but even that di not help my bones, only the hormone therapy helped me. If this goes away, I don't know how I will keep improving my bone density. Thank you, Sherry Carr

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.
