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.

After trying prescribed HRT with too many side effects, I found compounded HRT and would not be able to enjoy life as I do without HRT. I am 80 years old and am told I look and act at least 10 years younger, thanks to Dr. White and Pharmacy Solutions!

At age 37, surgery removed my only working hormone. I had hot flashes and low libido. I tried Premarin but I started bleeding heavily. My gynecologist wanted to do a hysterectomy. I was also having thyroid problems and my endocrinologist, Dr. Nafach, suggested compounded hormone therapy. I have been using it for years. I am 65 now and healthy with no issues. I look and feel more youthful, vibrant and libido is good.

“Before compounded hormones, my ability to work and my qualit...”

Before compounded hormones, my ability to work and my quality of life was severely affected. I could barely function each day, much less take care of my family and hold a steady job. As a 39 year old mom of two, I struggled to continue teaching due to low hormones and adrenal fatigue. After six months on hormones, my levels returned to near normal and I was able to work full time for the first time in years. I continue to see improvements with adjustments to my medication and will likely need these until well past menopause. This is extremely important to me and my family. We must keep cBHT available!

“I have been following a very safe and highly monitored use o...”

I have been following a very safe and highly monitored use of HRT for over eight years and feel it has provided a wonderful, healthy lifestyle. At 50 years of age, I started experiencing menopause symptoms and suffered with those more than 10 years. After having a bone scan, I was told I had osteopenia. My mother had breast cancer with a double mastectomy in her late 50's, and later died of heart disease at 79. Not wanting to take synthetic drugs for osteoporosis, I sought help from an "alternatives MD" who introduced me to cBHT. I see her faithfully two times a year and get my blood drawn/tested for my hormone levels every three months. My health is excellent, my body and bones are healthy and strong and you would never guess I am 72 years old! PLEASE do NOT restrict cBHT! I love them and want to continue with these for as long as possible!

I had suffered for years with menopausal problems. The hormones from the regular pharmacy gave me many adverse reactions and is also very expensive. My quality of life would be over if I cannot continue to get my compounded hormones.

“I did not see the option to acknowledge the use of compounde...”

I did not see the option to acknowledge the use of compounded hormones for pregnancy. I used compounded progesterone for the healthy completion of three of my six pregnancies, and discovered the need for the increased progesterone after our first miscarriage. I cannot imagine the potential loss of any of my children had I not been able to take the oral troches and then shots. Now, later in life I have been blessed by the balancing of my hormones through both a cream and pill form.

I had dangerously low progesterone during my pregancies, and was prescribed compounded progesterone replacement. I've had four healthy children and only one miscarriage thanks to compounded progesterone replacement. With my first child, I went into labor the day after I stopped my progesterone supplements at exactly 37 weeks. I feel very blessed to have access to these medications when I needed them!

For years I received compounded progesterone injections to help regulate my cycle because I have PCOS. I then used compounded progesterone during my three pregnancies and I am CERTAIN it is what allowed me to carry my babies to full term.

“Going into my first pregnancy I knew I would be low in proge...”

Going into my first pregnancy I knew I would be low in progesterone due to a prior diagnosis of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. As soon as I found out I was pregnant, I was tested and saw that I was in need of supplemental progesterone. I took compounded bioidentical progesterone in three different forms (injection, orally and suppository) for the entirety of my pregnancy. Because my naturally occurring numbers were so low, I have no doubt that if I had not been on progesterone supplements, I would have lost my baby in an early miscarriage. I continued to take them throughout to avoid preterm labor, which I was successful in doing. My husband and I probably owe our baby's life to progesterone being available within a matter of days of finding we needed it. I'm sure that compounded progesterone will continue to be an important part of my life as I navigate my PCOS diagnosis.

“I am a 33 year old female who had my uterus, ovaries, and tu...”

I am a 33 year old female who had my uterus, ovaries, and tubes removed at age 29 due to progressive and recurrent bilateral borderline ovarian tumors. After surgery, I immediately went into surgical menopause. The drastic drop in hormones caused me to have severe hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, lethargy, vaginal discomfort, vaginal atrophy, sexual disfunction, and urinary issues. My body needed the hormones that I could no longer produce on my own without hormone replacement. Before using a vaginal cBHT cream, I suffered from extreme vaginal dryness, pain during sex, thinning of the vagina, and frequent UTIs. I no longer have those symptoms anymore. If you are unable to produce hormones or have a hormone deficiency, cBHT is a miracle worker.

After a hysterectomy at an early age, I needed BHRT to maintain my regular health and stave off the long term health consequences from having low hormone levels. These bioidentical hormones have been extremely necessary for me as I am unable to take synthetic hormones and consider them to be dangerous. Due to my medical history and genetics, my hormones are compounded since they need to be customized to meet my specific needs. This has been a life saver for me and my health overall has been 100% better.

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.
