What is Premarin for?

Please note: You can buy Premarin online if you have had your womb removed (hysterectomy).

Please note: If you have NOT had a hysterectomy, you can still take Premarin, but your doctor will likely prescribe a second type of tablet containing another hormone called a progestogen to be taken for 12-14 days a month as well as the Premarin tablets.

Oestrogen-only HRT such as Premarin, is normally given to women who have had an operation to remove their uterus, called a hysterectomy. This is because women who still have a uterus and take oestrogen by itself will then have an increased risk of endometrial cancer, also known as womb cancer.

How does Premarin work?

As a women goes through the menopause, natural levels of the sex hormone oestrogen begin to decline in production. However, Premarin contains conjugated oestrogens, which work at restoring a woman’s natural levels, which in turn can then offset the effects of menopause and its associated unwanted symptoms

Premarin can provide effective relief from menopausal symptoms within just a few weeks of daily use. As your body gets use to the Premarin, breakthrough bleeding or spotting may be noticeable. Speak to your own doctor about this if it continues after more than a few months of taking Premarin.

It is worth noting that HRT should only be required as a relatively short-term treatment as your body adjusts to the menopause, however some women may need HRT for several years. All women taking HRT should review their treatment with their doctor at least once per year, in addition to regular gynaecological check-ups.
