Please don't take away the meds we women need...

In 1992 I had a hysterectomy which took all of my hormones out of the picture, I was only 46....then I went on estrogen pill Premarin therapy. The doctor put me on it immediately and then I started reading up on what side effects it had and I was so upset that I had signed up for that! My mom was also on the therapy and she had most of the problems listed in the small print including Uterine Cancer and breast issues and blood clots. I had to do something to save myself from blood clots, heart problems, and cancer. I was able to find a Naturopathic physician who prescribed taking bio-identical estrogen cream which combines estrogen/progesterone and is applied on the skin. The compounding of this and DHEA cream has saved me from becoming a grumpy, dried up, foggy, muscle-less, wrinkled mess and now I am 75 and feeling great still. Please don't take away the meds we women need that don't cause me any side effects at all just the happiness that we deserve after giving up our ovaries. I still ride a bike, walk, work out, and keep my weight down.

Hear their stories. Protect their own words. Protect their access to compounded medicines.

On this page, we can only touch on the data that demonstrates the importance of compounded medicines to the lives of millions of people in this country. While the decision to take this vital therapy from patients and physicians might be profitable for 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.
