When I was pre-menopausal, I was prescribed a hormone patch. This was around age 50 (I'm 73 now). After some time during a routine breast examination in my doctor's office, lumps (determined to be cysts) were discovered and subsequently, I was taken off pharmaceutical hormones. Sometime later, after the cysts disappeared, I started using compounded bioidentical hormones. I've been using them for about 15 years and have never had any problems with breast cysts. I truly feel safer with the bioidentical hormones than pharmaceutical. Also, I like that minor adjustments can be made if routine test results determine this.

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.
