Protect your Access to Compounded Medications

 

The Senate will soon vote on legislation (S.959) that would unduly restrict access to custom compounded medications, which are often the best treatment option, particularly when the patient has not responded to commercially available medications. Compounded medications solve numerous problems for patients who have special needs, such as children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, people suffering from cancer or chronic pain, men and women suffering from hormone imbalances or infertility, and those who are sensitive to additives such as dyes, gluten, alcohol and sugar in manufactured medications. The bill is a reaction to the tragedy of the New England Compounding Center (NECC) that produced contaminated injectable medication and shipped it around the country, resulting in patient deaths from fungal meningitis.


Safety is of the utmost importance and we support actions to improve safety and protect our patients. However, S.959 has unintended consequences that will deny patient access to important medications prepared by reputable professional compounding pharmacies such as ours. You may not be using compounded medications now but S.959 will limit your future options and your physician's/dentist's/veterinarian's ability to prescribe the best solution for you or your pet. Please contact your Senators and Representatives today and SPEAK OUT TO OPPOSE BILL S.959. 

 

 

Senators in yellow are on the Health Education Labor and Pensions (HELP) committee.


Compounding Helps People and Pets in Our Community who have the following problems and have not responded to commercially manufactured medications:

 

  • Chronic Pain

  • Autism Spectrum Disorder
  • Hormone Imbalances

  • Chronic Canker Sores (Aphthous Ulcers) or Cold Sores
  • Cats, Dogs and Other Animals with Infections, Skin Disorders, Chronic Pain, or Thyroid Disease

And, we can compound MEDICATIONS THAT ARE UNAVAILABLE due to current drug shortages or lack of manufacturer profitability.
