The compounding cream I am on truly made a difference in my life.

“The compounding cream I am on truly made a difference in my life.”

I had a hysterectomy at an early age. I was on a synthetic hormone pill for years. I always felt like it really did not do much for me. I still had hot flashes, and mood swings, and was tired all the time. I had three children and a husband that would ask me if I had taken my medication that day because I truly felt out of control at times (almost on a daily basis). I found out my sister had triple-negative breast cancer then within six months later my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. I spoke with my gynecologist and he suggested I go to my local compounding pharmacy and speak with someone about the hormone cream. I made that appointment and now my family does not ask if I took my medication today because I am much happier, I feel so much better on a daily basis. This has really changed my life. Please do not take this away from people who truly rely on this medication to just get them through each day.

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.
