Please, please do not take away my compounded hormones. I have been on them in one form or another for years and they have helped greatly with my perimenopause and now are helping me with menopause. Yes, I have tried some FDA-approved hormones and have always gone back to the compounded hormones. The FDA-approved hormones that I have used in the past seemed like they had unnatural dyes in them. I try to avoid dyes and I am shocked that they would dye a hormone pill bright orange or make a suppository blue! And without going into too much detail, I have had unpleasant adverse reactions to one in particular FDA-approved hormone. I will not go back to using it again. I think I would rather go hormone-free before I would use that one again. On the flip side, I have not had ANY adverse reactions to compounded hormones nor do they add colors unnecessarily. To sum it up, I MUCH prefer compounded hormones vs. unnatural FDA-approved hormones. The compounded hormones just work better for me!

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.
