Premique Low Dose Medical Information

Premique Low Dose is a Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). It contains two types of female hormones, an oestrogen and a progestogen (medroxyprogesterone acetate).

Premique Low Dose is used to treat some of the symptoms and conditions associated with the menopause.

Premique Low Dose is a period-free HRT (an HRT product where you do not have a monthly bleed).

Premique Low Dose 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"). Premique Low Dose alleviates these symptoms after menopause.

You will only be prescribed Premique Low Dose if your symptoms seriously hinder your daily life.

The recommended 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 currently taking HRT or you are taking another period-free HRT, you may start your first pack of Premique Low Dose at any convenient time.

If you are changing from an HRT product that gives you a monthly bleed, start Premique Low Dose the day after you finish the course of the previous product, unless instructed otherwise by your doctor.

Begin your pack of Premique Low Dose by taking the first tablet marked for that day of the week. Continue to take one tablet each day following the arrows until all 28 tablets have been taken.

While you are taking Premique Low Dose you will have no tablet-free days. You should start your next pack the day after you finish the previous one.

Premique Low Dose does not cause periods. However, you may experience some irregular bleeding or light bleeding (spotting) during your first few months of taking Premique Low Dose. If the bleeding is troublesome, or continues beyond the first 3 months of treatment you should discuss this with your doctor.

Do not try to take off the coating, divide or crush the tablets as this could affect the way Premique Low Dose works.
