So many advantages!

I was being treated - unsuccessfully - for at least 10 years for vaginal atrophy and vulvodynia, suffering extreme discomfort. Hormone imbalances also greatly affected my quality of sleep, caused moodiness, and resulted in osteoporosis as well as hot flashes that actually got worse over time rather than less. A new family physician prescribed a hormone compound and miraculously many of my symptoms disappeared. The compound has been tweaked a few times to get the proper results for me individually. If I were to not have this individualized compound, I would still be miserable, I would still have osteoporosis and would have to take a medication for that, and I would not have the same quality of life I enjoy now. The ability of my doctor to work with my compounding pharmacist to formulate a compound specifically for my individual situation is vital to me.

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.
