What is Premarin used for?
Premarin is indicated for the prevention of osteoporosis, and for the treatment of moderate to severe vasomotor symptoms and vaginal dryness associated with menopause. Premarin is used to treat night sweats, hot flashes and other menopausal symptoms.
How to take Premarin
The standard dosage of Premarin is 0.625 mg. This is the dosage most studied, and usually has been shown to be the lowest Premarin dosage required to protect against osteoporosis and heart disease, although recent studies also indicated that 0.3mg will also eliminate symptoms and prevent osteoporosis. The effect of lower dosages of Premarin on heart disease isn't known yet. Your doctor will prescribe the right dosage for you.
Side effects of Premarin
Premarin 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.
Precautions when taking Premarin
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.
