“Unbearable hot flashes, night sweats, long family history of osteoporosis, and brittle bones and skin”

A compounding druggist suggested saliva and blood tests to determine hormonal deficiencies, and imbalances which change as one grows older. My doctor liked the idea, and, over 20 years, I have enjoyed the benefits of having balanced hormones for a woman of 78 years. I had a complete hysterectomy while in my fifties so hormonal cancer is not a concern. I am very grateful to that druggist, the testing lab and my personal doctor for taking a personal interest in my health. My only regret is that hormonal compounding treatment is not covered by insurance.

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.
