The compounded formulation I take has me perfect.

“The compounded formulation I take has me perfect.”

I have taken Synthroid and Armour Thyroid for my hypothyroid condition and, while Armour got me closer to ideal than Synthroid, the compounded pill formulation I take now gets me absolutely perfect. My internal medicine doctor is very happy with it. I also do compounded testosterone cream and it helps with my energy levels and weight. I used to do compounded progesterone cream, but decided to switch to pills because of the cost. I have Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois and they do not cover compounded medications, so I have to pay for my thyroid medication and my testosterone myself. But it is worth it because I can't get these correct with traditional medications. I would also prefer to do progesterone cream over the prescription pills, but having three compounded medications I have to pay for myself is just too expensive. So I get the traditional progesterone to save at least a little money.

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.
