• We need to have options when it comes to our hormones. As a menopausal woman, I feel that the individualized compounded hormones are the best option for me.
• I am writing to let you know that I have deep concerns about the possibility of discontinuing my customized hormones. I am doing very well on them and the fixed commercially available hormones do not work for me.
