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.

“First, I feel bioidentical hormones are better than syntheti...”

First, I feel bioidentical hormones are better than synthetic hormones for my health. Hormones changed my life. I was feeling depressed, I would get very angry at work and would snap at my co-workers for no reason. My hot flashes would interfere with my work. Not getting a good night's sleep affected my work performance as well. I find it frustrating that insurance companies do not cover bioidentical hormones, since they are better for you.

Prior to taking this compounded therapy, I was having hot flashes every 35 minutes. Regular hormone therapy did not work. As soon as I got these troches, I stopped having these hot flashes. My life has been GREATLY improved.

“I take liothyronine compounded for slow release instead of s...”

I take liothyronine compounded for slow release instead of synthroid because it relives symptoms of hypothyroidism that synthroid could not, but I tried synthroid for years. Compounded T3 helps relive constipation, always feeling cold, hair growth, skin dryness, energy levels and easy weight gain. I have researched this topic and it seems some people have trouble converting t4 to t3 which is the active type of the hormone for metabolism. Bypassing t4, synthroid, and going directly to t3 is beneficial for me.

“I started replacement with compounded biodenticals in my mid...”

I started replacement with compounded biodenticals in my mid- forties for premenopausal symptoms and continued through menopause and continue even now on a daily basis. I will be 67 in April 2021. They have enabled me to live a better quality of life; no hot flashes, no mood swings, better sleep and energy, better aging, and a better sex life, which I attribute to these compounded medications. I would never use synthetic or uncompounded hormone replacement therapies or medications.

“After menopause I was physically unable to have intercourse ...”

After menopause I was physically unable to have intercourse due to the pain. I tried estrogen lotion to no avail. The cBHT literally saved me. I have zero negative side effects. My friend who recommended this treatment was helped not only physically, but emotionally. She had been a little overweight, not interested in sex, and felt down. Her cBHT helped ALL that.

“I had a complete hysterectomy 16 years ago. I suffered from ...”

I had a complete hysterectomy 16 years ago. I suffered from hot flashes all day and night sweats all night. An OB/GYN had a seminar explaining the benefits of bioidenticals. Within three days of beginning treatment, my hot flashes and night sweats diminished and my memory started coming back. I was able to do crossword puzzles again and think clearly. I see so many women suffering from hot flashes and night sweats- not just for a few years. These can last into a woman's 70's. They have really made my senior years so much better. Even women without hysterectomies receive so much benefit, but those of us with hysterectomies no longer have any natural hormones, and those who have cancer cannot under any reason take hormones. I am 78 and am in much better health than those who do not take the bioidenticals. I still get around like most people in their 60's. Having hot flashes is something that most women had to endure until the bioidenticals came out.

“I was perimenopausal in my late 30's. I started experiencing...”

I was perimenopausal in my late 30's. I started experiencing painful intercourse. I was not able to use available hormonal meds such as Premarin (pill or cream), because I'd had blood clots in both lungs from birth control pills in my 20's. This was in 1974. I cannot imagine how awful my life would have been these past 30 years (I'm 70) were it not for my prescriber and the compounding pharmacists. The form of estrogen in the cream is of a type that stays in the vaginal tissues and vastly decreases pain during intercourse. I cannot take anything that could enter my bloodstream; otherwise, I could develop clots again.

“I have a vaginal caruncle. It started out angry, red and pro...”

I have a vaginal caruncle. It started out angry, red and prohibited me from having intercourse with my husband. In September, I began using the compounded estrogen cream and five months later, it now is non-threatening and sex has resumed. My numerous allergies require me to have a specially compounded formula so as not to have an allergic reaction, DOWN THERE! That happened to me once before with an over the counter and never again! Both my husband and I are forever grateful for this compounding pharmacy. Additionally, I had used compounded estrogen for many years in the past, experiencing no problems with my multiple allergies. It has been a lifesaver!

“This is a safer alternative to commercially produced hormone...”

This is a safer alternative to commercially produced hormone replacement prescriptions. I am carefully monitored every six months with blood work and a doctor's visit to ensure that the correct balance is being maintained in my system. The doctor is able to make adjustments to the formula based on the lab reports so that the Rx is most effective and safe. This is not possible with a commercially prepared Rx.

“I was having UTIs every month for a year. I am a 60 year old...”

I was having UTIs every month for a year. I am a 60 year old woman who had a full hysterectomy in 1978, at age 17. I was given a patch for hormone replacement therapy during this time. I felt no different so I stopped. I was sexually inactive for many years while raising my son. I started dating in 2016 and having UTIs every month. I went to a gynecologist who prescribed a hormone replacement troche made at Riverpoint Compound Pharmacy. No more UTIs. The hormone troche helped me IMMENSELY, restoring hormone balance. This small troche once a week saved my life. Plus the cost is $30 for a three month supply. I take biologics too that cost me hundreds of dollars.

After four years of not sleeping, bioidentical progesterone finally made it possible for me to sleep again. It was a godsend. And the bioidentical estriol keeps bladder infections away. It is imperative for me to keep from getting them because once I get one, I can hardly get rid of it. My bioidentical estriol has helped tremendously with that.
