Truly a life saver

Due to an autoimmune issue, I hit menopause like a wall when I turned 45. At first, I thought the menopause symptoms were just a new part of my autoimmune struggles. After my ob/GYN did blood testing, we decided on a (not bio-identical) hormonal patch, which did little to alleviate symptoms. After 6 months on the patch, I developed a melanoma about 6 inches from the patch site. I started researching and decided to try bio-identical hormone replacement instead. These have alleviated my symptoms (hot flashes every 5 minutes, debilitating panic attacks, and night sweats). Honestly, I had no idea how miserable menopause could be, and how it could affect every aspect of life. I wish I had started with bio identically and avoided the suffering I endured for several years before starting. Truly a lifesaver.

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.

Explore our interactive map that demonstrates the importance of compounded medicines to patients all across the country. Filter these first-hand accounts by state to see just how vital compounded medicines are.
