surgical menopause & allergic to RX adhesive

I have taken bio-identical hormones since I had a total hysterectomy and removal of my ovaries at an early age. My Dr. put me on an estrogen hormone patch, which helped relieve some symptoms, the worst of which, was having absolutely no zest for living, and a feeling of total lethargy. BUT it was not a balanced hormone replacement, and I was allergic to the adhesive in the patch. Having it on my skin made it bubble and slough off! So, I went to a naturopathic Dr. and was put on bio-identical hormone replacement, which has kept me on an even keel for years. My dosage is adjusted by testing every 2 yrs. Please don't take away our ability to have this resource, which has been nothing but helpful for 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.
