Severe reaction to NON bio-identical hormones.Bio-identical hormones saved my life.

Hormonal imbalances can be devastating to anyone’s health. From one doctor I was given a non bio-identical hormone which is given to many women routinely to supposedly help me with my issues. I wanted a natural form of the hormone and she said I needed to try out the generic (cheaper) not natural one first. It made me totally dysfunctional. I was severely anxious and mentally imbalanced. I was having thoughts of suicide. I took it for 6 weeks, as I promised my doctor I would try it out. Finally I stopped taking it as I thought I was going crazy. I left that doctor and received help from a naturopathic doctor that prescribed bio-identical hormones. I have been taking them for more than eight years and feel great! Without access to a compounding pharmacy I would have had to quit my job, I would be too dysfunctional to work…or even have a life!!

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.
