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.

Quite simply having compounded hormone therapy has changed my life and made it possible for me to function and live again, both before and after menopause. My life would be physically unbearable without compounded hormone therapy. Everything I use is prescribed by my doctor. I suffer from IC, (pelvic pain syndrome) Endometriosis, and a Lichens skin condition. Without this therapy I could not leave my house or function through the day (due to the pain I would have without it). Having this therapy was a game changer for me and other patients who suffer with these conditions. So many lives would be affected in a negative way if these compounded therapies were not available. Some IC patients I know cannot function without the suppository therapy on a nightly basis. It would be tragic if they could not get these therapies.

I have hashimoto disease and hypothyroidism, and compounded naltrexone and compounded levothyroxine sodium/liothyronine sodium capsules have greatly improved my negative symptoms from my diseases. Please don't take away compounding. I need it for my livelihood.

I will not take synthetic hormones so this is a must for me. I have many menopausal symptoms and am miserable without this type of hormone replacement.

I have used medicine like androgel,and got little improvement on my testosterone levels. I tried other treatments basically same effect. Being that I am over 65, lower T is apart of normal life. My levels were bottom of scale. I started using compound treatment and my levels went up to a point I could feel like a normal man. I'm sleeping better, my weight has gone down, and I don't feel exhausted and lacking energy through my day. I also don't have any side effects as in enlargement in my prostate, my test have maintained a normal level. My doctors, here at home, and at Cleveland Clinic, have recommended this treatment to other patients with my symptoms.

Before I started using the compounded hormone therapy, I was extremely uncomfortable. Miserable, even. Everything else I had tried simply did not work. My resignation increased. Once the compounded hormone therapy was prescribed, and I started taking it, my quality of life has now improved dramatically! I am so thankful to be able to say this. I do not know what I would do without it.

Applying the Bi-Est and natural progesterone daily has improved my life so much. My emotions are stable. I can sleep at night. I don't have brain fog and I do not have night sweats anymore. I was severly affected by the synthetic progestin. It was equivalent to a sleep pill. I couldn't go to work the next day and I was lethargic. My body needs this natural supplement to fully function.

I would not be alive with the pain I was dealing with that was brought about by my OBGYN who gave me two does of Depo-Provera in under a two week time-span due to very heavy bleeding. This event ruined my live with 18+ migraines a month plus early onset menopauses (both know reactions to this medication). I have been on bioidentical hormones for 17 years (at 40 years old when I went through menopause) and I would not make it without them. The hormones have rescued me from the western medicine OBGYN overdose of Depo and I will stand against anyone who tires to take them! My late husband was on male hormones and his energy was restored. These natural hormones are a gift. I never plan to go without. If they were taken away it would be disaster for me and countless others.

Being a hormone positive breast cancer survivor I am greatly limited as to what types of therapies I can use. Manufactured hormones put me at great risk to feed the hormone positive cancer I had. Compounded hormone therapy allows my doctors to prescribe and monitor my health in a way that is safer for my well being.

For years I tried the standard medicine for pre-menopausal symptoms, as well as herbs, etc. from health food stores. No help to me. Finally, quite a few years after menopause, I found a new doctor who encouraged me to try compounding hormone therapy. I am now able to live a normal life- no hot flashes, no night sweats; I have a balanced life. I am able to keep my levels - testosterone, progesterone, estrogen, dhea, thyroid - all at optimal levels! So glad I found compounding!

Compounded bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is fantastic! I have optimized my Testosterone levels and feel fantastic. I check my blood level 4-6 times per year and my doctor and I have determined the optimal dose. This cannot be achieved with branded pharmaceuticals. The cost would be ten to twenty times the cost of the compounded product. Compounded products are identical to naturally occurring hormones. Branded products are not identical and do not always adhere to the hormone receptors in the body properly. Please let educated people take control of their lives! Anyone seeking compounded hormones has educated themselves and is willing to take the risk. The quality of life is fantastic when used properly under the supervision of a qualified physician. If these products were taken away from me and my family it would create a terrible unbearable hardship! We are educated, we are informed and we have made an adult decision!

I was having such problems from hormone imbalance that affected my sleep, my ability to exercise (which I have always worked out six days a week, high intensity and weights) and my ability to focus at work and my self esteem lost from the weight gain I could not control from reduced calories and eating right including vitamins and supplements. I tried everything until I went to see my endocrinologist and found my life saving doctor in Haddonfield, NJ. The hormone imbalance was the cause of all the negative things going on in my body that had brought my quality of life to its lowest. Without hormone replacement therapy, I don't know how I could manage to get back to living an active life or handle the daily stresses at work and home. It is bad enough that health insurance doesn't cover these costs for women, but to take the ability away to get the required hormones to help with the transition through menopause, is just in humane.

Hear their stories, in their own words. Protect their access to compounded hormones.
On this page, we can only touch on the data that demonstrates the importance of compounded hormones to the lives of millions of women in this country. While the decision to take this vital therapy from patients and physicians might be profitable for the 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.
