Premarin 0.625mg (Conjugated Oestrogen)
Product: Premarin 0.625mg conjugated oestrogenPackaging Type: Packets of 28 tablets Manufacturer: Wyeth Ayerst Prices:
Premarin (conjugated estrogens tablets, USP) is indicated for the prevention of osteoporosis, and for the treatment of moderate to severe vasomotor symptoms and vaginal dryness associated with menopause. For more than 58 years, women have trusted Premarin for the treatment of moderate to severe vasomotor symptoms associated with menopause. Premarin is also indicated for the prevention and management of osteoporosis as well as for the treatment of vulvar and vaginal atrophy. Premarin contains a complex blend of natural estrogens. Estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) is usually prescribed for women who have had a hysterectomy (surgical removal of the uterus). Some women have a hysterectomy that includes removal of the ovaries, which causes immediate loss of estrogen. This is known as surgical menopause. With surgical menopause, symptoms can be sudden and range from mild to severe. There can be side effects with Premarin. Estrogen can increase the risk of cancer of the uterus. Your doctor may prescribe a progestin along with Premarin to reduce this risk. Women who have had a hysterectomy do not have this risk. Side effects of Premarin include blood clots, nausea, abdominal pain, breast tenderness, irregular bleeding, headache, and hair loss. Premarin is not for every woman. You should not take Premarin if you have had any breast or uterine cancer, abnormal vaginal bleeding, abnormal blood clotting, or if you think or know you are pregnant. Pregnant women should not take Premarin because of possible risk to the fetus. If you have heart disease, you and your doctor may decide you should not take Premarin. Tell your doctor about your personal and family medical history. |
