Letco Medical Announces Multi-Year Contribution to the Alliance for Pharmacy Compounding to Protect Patient Access for Compounded Hormone Replacement Therapies

WAYNE, Pa., June 30, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Letco Medical, LLC (Letco Med), is pleased to announce its three-year financial commitment of over $100,000 to fund the Alliance for Pharmacy Compounding (APC) nationwide advocacy campaign.  This effort is focused on protecting patient access to compounded bioidentical hormone therapies (cBHT) that millions of Americans depend on and safely use every day.  Additionally, Letco announces a new partnership program with its customers to further fund and support APC's patient advocacy initiatives and efforts.

Patient access to cBHT is actively being challenged through flawed studies funded by commercial and regulatory entities and does not accurately reflect the positive results achieved by the millions of patients who benefit daily from compounded hormone therapies.  Last year alone in the United States, 26 million prescriptions of highly safe and efficacious compounded medications were dispensed by pharmacies, with beneficial clinical outcomes.  Letco Med strongly supports APC's mission and approach for protecting patient access to these important medications.

Doug Bowman, Letco Med's CEO, said, "We believe and support the proven benefits of compounded hormone replacement therapies and the life changing outcomes these medications provide.  The excellent work APC is doing to protect and safeguard cBHT access, while combatting a false narrative around compounded products, is critical for all stakeholders including prescribing physicians, pharmacists and their patients.  APC is positioned perfectly with a strong advocacy program and universal support from the entire compounding community, making this significant contribution at this critical time a straightforward decision for Letco."  

"We're grateful to our longtime partner, Letco Med, for their support," said APC's CEO, Scott Brunner. "With this gift, Letco becomes the first APC corporate member to make a multi-year commitment to our campaign to protect compounded hormones.  It's a substantive commitment that brings us ever closer to our fund-raising goals for the campaign.  Now we are looking to other corporate stakeholders in the compounding space to follow the lead of corporate patrons like Letco, by investing in this effort as well."

In addition to Letco Med's financial contribution to APC, on July 1, 2021, Letco Med will launch an exclusive platform for its pharmacy customers to provide direct funding in support of APC's effort to protect patient access to compounded bioidentical hormone therapies.  Letco Med will partner with customers on every order they place to share a portion of revenues directly with APC.
