Premarin Medical Information
Premarin is a Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). It contains the female hormone oestrogen.
Premarin is used to treat some of the symptoms and conditions associated with the menopause.
Premarin is used for:
- Relief of symptoms occurring after menopause During the menopause, the amount of the oestrogen produced by a woman’s body drops. This can cause symptoms such as hot face, neck and chest ("hot flushes"). Premarin alleviates these symptoms after menopause. You will only be prescribed Premarin if your symptoms seriously hinder your daily life.
- Prevention of osteoporosis After the menopause some women may be at risk of developing fragile bones (osteoporosis).
Premarin is usually prescribed for women who have had their womb removed (hysterectomy). However, women who have not had this operation can still take Premarin and their doctor may prescribe a second type of tablet containing another hormone called a progestogen to be taken for 12-14 days per month as well as the Premarin tablets.
The usual dose is one tablet every day.
Take your tablet at the same time each day as this will help to remind you to take your medicine.
If you are not already taking an HRT product or if you are taking an HRT product that does not give you a monthly bleed you may start your first pack of Premarin at any convenient time.
If you are changing from an HRT product that gives you a monthly bleed, start Premarin the day after you finish the course of the previous product, unless instructed otherwise by your doctor.
While you are taking Premarin you will have no tablet-free days. You should start your next pack the day after you finish the previous one.
Premarin 0.3 mg is the lowest starting dose. If your symptoms are not adequately controlled higher doses of Premarin can be used.
