Seeing this progress helps me catch my breath after weeks of hitting walls. It is exhausting to fight for basic access but knowing you are behind this keeps me moving forward.

Ridiculous! I rely on my local guy to mix my prescriptions because regular ones make me sick. leave our pharmacy alone.
Total nonsense that they can just stop covering meds people actually need to survive. Fix this now.
Pharmacy Compounding Advisory Committee, I'm writing to ask you to approve all of them for compounding. Boswellia (Indian frankincense) is a tree resin that has been used for thousands of years to treat a variety of conditions, and recently has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties. It also can be used to treat arthritis and osteoarthritis. Aloe vera leaves have been used medicinally as far back as the 16th century BCE. It is widely used in both natural and traditional medicine for a variety of conditions, treating everything from burns to constipation, psoriasis, and herpes simplex virus. D-ribose is a natural ingredient for increasing energy (ATP) production. Evidence indicates that d-ribose can rejuvenate heart muscles after a heart attack or other cardiac events. Chondroitin sulfate is a structural component of the cartilage in joints. It stimulates the production of cartilage, improves blood circulation to the joints, and is used to treat osteoarthritis, among other things. Acetyl-L-carnitine is naturally produced by the body, functions as an antioxidant, and promotes the production of glutathione in cells. It is used for Alzheimer's disease, age-related memory problems, and a wide range of other conditions. These are commonly available supplements. What puzzles me is that the committee seems to think that everyday supplements should be banned from compounding. This is completely illogical. You can buy them in stores! Yet you think my doctor cannot include them in personalized medicine he prescribes? What kind of crazy illogic is that? The elimination of supplements from compounding has far-reaching implications. Sometimes patients don't even have the option of using any form other than the compounded one. Supplements are compounded for all types of patients -- such as those with environmental sensitivities who cannot have supplements with preservatives, or autistic children and other patients for whom swallowing pills is extre

My kids meds are only made this way. Insurance keeps denying it and it costs me a fortune every month. This has to change.
