Senior on Medicare uses HRT to fight osteoporosis

I used HRT for many years to help fight osteoporosis. I used Estrogel and Divigel when I was employed full time with health benefits. Now that I have joined Medicare, I can no longer find insurance coverage (part D) for a gel or cream because there are no generic forms of these products. I now use Biest (estriol 50%/Estradiol 50%) from a compounding pharmacy. Also, the product I buy from a compounding pharmacy is less expensive than pharmaceutical HRT.

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.
