APC member Dawn Ipsen of Kusler’s Compounding Pharmacy in Snohomish, Wash., arranged a pharmacy visit with Cameron Caldwell, the northwest Washington outreach director for U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell. “We had a fabulous visit and informative conversation,” Dawn said, that included an introduction to compounding, a facility tour, and a visit to the pharmacy’s NIOSH lab where they were making various compounded hormones.

“It piqued his attention when I mentioned the importance of progesterone suppositories and the risk of the FDA making it illegal to compound such products,” Dawn said — good news for our cBHT campaign. She also discussed the FDA’s MOU with states, and why it’s important to delay enforcement.
