A new bill recently introduced into the Senate, S.959, is a source of concern for many people who are proponents of compounded medications. Although this bill is touted as being necessary to protect patients from receiving unsafe compounded medications, it is going to negatively affect those people who truly benefit from personalized medications. As well, if this bill passes, the options for patients may not be any better, but the pharmaceutical industry will still make financial gains. There are things you can do to learn more about how this legislature may end up hurting you as a physician or patient, and how you can personally take action.
These changes have implications for everyone - but certain groups of people will be especially affected. People taking personalized, compounded medications for the following reasons should especially be concerned enough to obtain more information for protecting their rights:
-
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)
-
Pain management
-
Autism Spectrum Disorder
-
Safe, healthy weight loss solutions
-
Many others (Pediatrics, Ophthalmology, Dentistry and Infertility - just to name a few)
