Florida SANTA RSA BCH“Exact Dosage”
I was introduced to compounded pharmacy hormone replacement therapy in 2017. Prior to 2017, my prescriptions were filled at traditional pharmacies such as Rite-Aide, Publix, and Walgreens.The dosage was suggested by my doctors but was never tested to ensure the medicines were working and more importantly...were they working at a dosage well and appropriately for me. I've been on hormone therapy since 2008 due to the removal of my ovaries. I've been the patient of several GYN doctors due to relocating to different places for my career. No doctor ever recommended blood analysis to determine the level of the medications in my body and to critically analyze their effectiveness. In 2017, I became a patient of a doctor who advertised health care for patients needing hormone replacement therapy. After an initial appointment, the doctor suggested a blood test to analyze many aspects but specifically to analyze my hormone panel. Since then, I have the same blood work done quarterly and my hormone medications are adjusted, if needed. Now, I'm taking prescribed medication that provides me with the exact dosage that my body and health care needs, NOT, a random prescription with a dosage that may be proven to work for MOST people. My dosage now is absolutely prescribed appropriately me. Compounding medications should be covered under my health care insurance, however, they are not. Therefore, I pay for them even though they are very expensive. My health and health care are very important to me. I am certain that I am receiving high quality care from my doctor and high quality prescribed compounded medicines.

As someone who has a blood clot in disorder and a quadruple MTHF are mutation having BHRT available to me is the difference between a good quality of life and a poor quality of life as there’s no substitute for this product.

Florida Tampa“My primary psychiatrist could not support my ability to sleep.”
My primary psychiatrist could not support my ability to sleep. It was hormone replacement (progesterone) which enabled me to sleep during perimenopause and menopause. I was desperate and had tried sleep medications. I am forever grateful to my compounding pharmacist. She is in Maryland, and I moved to Florida, and I still consult with her for my menopausal needs.

Without the compounded hormone therapy, I lose any energy I still have and my libido would be zero. This is a ridiculous attempt to control aging men and women.

Florida Hobe Sound“Compounded hormones have enhanced my life physically and mentally.”
I started using hormone replacement therapy when I was 54 years old and will continue to use it (76) the rest of my life. I believe it has enhanced my life physically and mentally. I am very youthful and look 10 years young than I am. I have strong bones and continue to work as a nanny/house/petsitter. I attribute it to my therapy with my pro-therapy physician. I get my blood tested every six months to make sure I am getting the right hormones.

Florida Sarasota“I am very thankful for the option of compounded hormones.”
I am very thankful for the option that I have had to go this direction in compounding my hormone needs. I did not want to take a synthetic brand because I have had cancer issues in my family members. Breast cancer. This is something that many deal with, including me. I would hope we would always have a choice. I see no reason to remove this option. Especially since we pay out of pocket. It has helped me greatly.

Compounded hormone therapy has definitely improved my quality of life. When I was 37, I had to have a complete hysterectomy (after living with infertility and extensive Endometriosis; Endometriosis destroyed my bladder, bowel, vagina.) Ten years later, I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Incontinence, nerve issues and pain are a constant in my life! My physician prescribed compounded therapy. It has definitely helped with my constant vaginal pain. There is a big difference when I don't use cBHT. Please DO NOT eliminate compounded therapies! This therapy is definitely needed! I'm glad that there's a pharmacy willing to make the EXACT compound I need. I'm finally able to have sex with my husband (without the constant pain that I've been living with for over 35 years). Sometimes traditional medicines don't work for everyone. Medicine is NOT always an exact science. Don't eliminate the pharmacies willing to make these compounds for us!
