United States

In the United States, millions of people depend on compounded medicines to live normal, productive, healthy lives. Their first-hand stories speak directly to the power of this important therapy. As the FDA considers removing access to certain medicines like compounded hormones, their voices must be part of the conversation.

“Because I am using cBHT, my life has greatly improved.”

Because I am using cBHT, my life has greatly improved. I tried using prescription creams but they were cost prohibitive. I think it was going to be several hundred dollars a month with my insurance plan. I have been on cBHT for several years and have good results with no side effects.

“My life without these amazing compounds would be unimaginable.”

My life without these amazing compounds would be unimaginable. I have excellent quality of life due to fact that my hormone compounds are bio identical and done in low naturally sourced estrogen/progesterone/testosterone components. They are not high dose synthetics. Compounded prescriptions should NEVER be taken away from those of us that seek to maintain our health.

“I used a compounded cream to balance my hormones.”

I used a compounded cream to balance my hormones and system for post menopausal support. It has greatly enhanced how I feel. I have excellent bone density. My skin has not lost as much elasticity. I do not experience the severe menopausal symptoms. My mental health is excellent. I used compounded estrogen and progesterone and continue to use compounded testosterone cream.

“I was not able to have intercourse with my husband without pain.”

I was not able to have intercourse with my husband without extreme pain. This nearly ended my marriage until my doctor prescribed this treatment. It is the only option for me. This option does not depend on the cruel treatment of horses which the only other treatment I m aware of. (Premarin) and will refuse to abuse and literally cause death to the mares they use and the foals they murder for my own satisfaction. This compound has significantly improved the quality of my life.

“I have osteoporosis...”

I have osteoporosis. Bio-identical hormones have been proven to slow this bone thinning process along with exercise, which I do as well. I also take vitamin D3 and additional supplements to help. I am 70, and this summer I hiked many mountain trails from 10-18 miles in one day, carrying a light day pack. I could not have done this in years past without back and hip pain. Also, when menopause began, I experienced episodes of night sweats and hot flashes numbering 25+ at night and more during the day. My sleep was disturbed and I was miserable in all aspects of my daily physical life. It affected my job as a teacher. I would not take the artificial hormones made from horse urine when the side effects, even breast cancer increases, were so negatively serious....plus, I am not a horse. I do not have the same DNA. I then tried over the counter natural remedies, made from plants, which did not work. I have had a total rebirth of energy with healthful sleep patterns, and no hot flashes and night sweats since taking compounded estradiol. My blood is taken four or more times a year to manage the correct blood levels of estradiol by my personal doctor. My doctor researches the benefits of bio identical hormones. There are so many benefits, including the prevention of breast cancer and slowing the weakening of bones, with the use of these bio identical hormones compounded by a pharmacist. Please do not take this option away from me. My health and the health of women depends on bio identical compounded hormones. Without them, our medical decline would further impact medical care for women our age...and the cost of caring for us would escalate. Hip surgery and breast cancer are expensive and miserable consequences.

“cBHT has improved my overall health...”

cBHT has improved my overall health by providing relief of over a dozen perimenopausal symptoms. It is also helping to keep my hormones in balance now that I am post-menopausal.

“cBHT has provided a very low cost alternative...”

cBHT has provided a very low cost alternative to a non-compounded hormone treatment that I require. This has resulted in an annual savings of $708/year due to a significant price increase for my previous non-compounded hormone. In addition, the cBHT hormone has managed my symptoms better than the previous non-compounded choice. This will likely be a lifelong treatment therefore the cost burden and the negative impact on quality of like would be considerable if compounded hormone options are discontinued.

I have been in this program for two years. My quality of life has greatly improved! I sleep well, have no hot flashes, plus I am able to maintain a much healthier weight. I feel like I have more energy and my mood is stabilized. Why take something away from women when it can change life so dramatically?

“I cannot take pre-made prescription hormones.”

I am sensitive to most things so I cannot take pre-made prescription hormones. I am doing well on bioidentical hormone therapy and it will affect my quality of life if this were no longer available. My dog also takes compounded bioidentical estriol. She has allergies that don't allow her to take pre-made stuff. She has also benefited and would not have the same quality of life without it.

“These have a made a huge difference in my health.”

These have a made a huge difference in my health. I am highly sensitive to lots of medications and was unable to take the regular hormone replacement pill. Having been able to finally take them has made such a difference with other medical issues I had like osteoporosis, eczema, heart palpitations and my energy levels.

“In my first year of using cBHT, I had great results.”

In my early 50's I was having problems with bleeding, spotting and hormonal headaches. It seemed to be constant. In my first year of cBHT, I had great results. My headaches were fewer and the bleeding became normal again as in a monthly period. Eventually my periods stopped and I have had no extreme menopause symptoms. I am turning 60 this year.

Without cBHT, I am very constipated and I gain weight no matter what I do. It stabilizes my hormones. Without it, I suffer more. No person should have to suffer more when there is a non-toxic prescribed medication available.
