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.

I started experiencing pre-menopausal symptoms after a tubal-ligation. That was a very tumultuous time for our family. My symptoms were very disruptive to our family's dynamic each month. After starting on cBHT, everything stabilized with my symptoms and in our family dynamic. I truly wonder if our family would have stayed intact without my hormone prescription.

It has been the best thing to happen to me. After my hysterectomy, I was miserable. Moody, depressed, and my skin looked like I was 80, but I was 38. I had terrible migraines on a regular basis. I had ZERO libido. I didn't find bioidentical HRT until several years after my hysterectomy. This truly has saved my marriage and has changed my way of thinking. I am no longer dealing with depression, migraines, my skin is so much better, and needless to say my libido is back!

Without the opportunity to use compounded hormone therapy, my life would not be the same. I went to my doctor (in fact I went to three doctors) and tried various other drugs....nothing touched the hot flashes and the affect they were having on my ability to sleep and get through the day. Thank goodness for hormone therapy. Restricting this option will NOT be a benefit to women. As it is, I have to pay for it totally out of pocket. It's worth every penny.

I was struggling with several issues that are common with menopause. The one that was most disruptive to my life was FOGGY BRAIN. I do hospital EHR software implementation. I need a clear brain at all times and the compounds have kept me working competitively with my millennium peers! Thank you for allowing me to stay focused and working into my sixties! All of the other fixes are definitely a bonus too!

cBHT makes me feel great...and normal! It totally eliminates hot flashes. I read that it slows bone loss in women predisposed to osteoporosis of which I am one. Also, genetically, I am more able to utilize "natural" hormones as opposed to synthetic, non-bioidentical ones because of two genetic mutations of my methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene. "mthfr" (C677T).

For me, this therapy has help me to subside the side effects that I was enduring with menopause. I had several symptoms such as night sweats, waking up drenched, having to change sheets and clothing two to three times week. Hot flashes during the day, vaginal dryness, weight gain, tender breasts, decreased sex drive, etc... You name it, I had it. These troches that I take have been positively a huge asset for me during this time.

The compound gave me back my life! Menopause affected me in many negative ways. I used to have a pictorial memory. If I looked twice at a phone number, I had it memorized, which was a wonderful assent in my business. With menopause, I totally lost that ability. I had severe and numerous hot flashes, over 30 a day. I also started having trouble handling the numerous details which used to be a part of my life. I was having difficulty just functioning and coping with ordinary tasks. I tried prescription estrogen replacements such as Premarin. That is the only one I remember by name, though I tried others too, with mixed results. Using bioidentical hormone therapy has worked for me. I stopped having the hot flashes, which were debilitating during my business day. I regained my abiliity to cope with day to day activities, which had become overwhelming with the onset of menopause. I did get back the pictorial memory eventually, as I continued to use the bioidentical hormone therapy. Menopause severely altered my life. Using the bioidentical therapy has allowed me to keep my lifestyle and regain my life.

Iowa SPIRIT LAKE“Bioidentical progesterone supplements have allowed me to car...”
Bioidentical progesterone supplements have allowed me to carry my children to term (my natural progesterone levels do not support pregnancy). Without supplemental bioidentical progesterone, I would have miscarried both of my children. Instead, using hormone support that was prescribed by my doctor to replace the hormones my body doesn't produce on its own, I have two beautiful children who are alive and well today, without the risk of cancers associated with non-bioidentical hormone supplements.

Iowa UNDERWOOD“I was tested for my testosterone levels by my urologist. My ...”
I was tested for my testosterone levels by my urologist. My levels were very low and I had health issues related to that. I was unable to tolerate Androgel due to the alcohol base causing skin rashes. I have also tried Axiron with the same results. Neither of these drugs actually raised my testosterone levels. The drugs were also extremely expensive. $700+ per month and insurance was of no help. My doctor was going to try a long-acting injection which my insurance originally approved but then declined. At this point, my doctor contacted a compounding pharmacy and they stated that they could make me a topically applied cream that would not cause the skin rash issues I have experienced previously. The cream raised my testosterone levels to a point that I started to feel normal again and the cost was only $85 per month. I am 69 and have been using this medication for several years and I strongly feel it has greatly improved my life. To take this type of treatment away from elderly men that need it would be a great disservice to older individuals that need a testosterone treatment to keep their bodies and mental wellbeing at a level that allows us to function normally and enjoy a full life.

Because of the medications traditional doctors have prescribed, I have developed a great many allergies. I am unable to tolerate most traditional OTC and prescribed medications. My doctor has found that by using compounded prescriptions, I can tolerate the medications and supplements she has determined necessary for my health. Without compounding, I would not have been able to work as long as I did, nor would I have the quality of life that I now have.

My daughter also used cBHT for a premenopausal condition she was having. Nothing else she tired helped her through it except for the cBHT.
My husband recently started using cBHT and believe me it has made him feel better and easier to live with.
