“Women on compounded hormones have fewer medical problems and are much happier!”

I am concerned that the government wants to eliminate compounded hormones and compounding pharmacies. I am 76 years old, and I have been on compounded hormones since the beginning of menopause. I was prescribed hormones by my doctor that were synthetic. I had to have a breast biopsy which was precancerous, and it was suggested that I have a hysterectomy because of numerous vaginal cysts. I went to a doctor that prescribed compounded hormones and thank goodness I did. After a while on these hormones, the cysts decreased in size. As a result, no surgery was needed, and I have had no further complications. I have yearly mammograms and Pap tests with no negative results. I am only on one medication. When I am not taking the hormones, my husband says he notices by my behavior that I need them. Taking compounded hormones has made my quality of life much better. I urge you to do all you can to let compounding pharmacies continue to do as they have been doing. They are much needed!

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.
