“Since childhood, my level of energy has always been low”

Since childhood, my level of energy has always been low. Afternoon tiredness, difficulty concentrating and lack of focus. This continued into adulthood and also included inhibited libido. I tried many over-the-counter supplements but those are not regulated and not standardized. The first time my hormone levels were tested, my testosterone was 11. Not only did this put me on the path to improved health, it released a large burden and helped explain why my energy and libido were low for so many years. I began a regimen of various bio-identical hormones and my quality of life has improved significantly. I have more focus, more energy and normal libido. Every patient is different in their chemistry and physiology. Each of us, including those deciding this matter, would benefit from a specialized formula for all types of conditions that do not necessarily respond to traditional, dosage-regulated medications. When properly regulated and formulated by a specialist, compounded medications prepared by a pharmacist with expertise in this area, provide relief that cannot be found elsewhere.

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.
