Home » Women's Health » Premarin (Estrogens) Premarin (Conjugated Estrogens) is a female hormone and is usually given to women who no longer produce the proper amount. It is used to reduce menopause symptoms (e.g. hot flashes vaginal dryness) to prevent bone loss (osteoporosis) in people at high risk or to treat certain cancers in men and women (e.g. certain types of metastatic breast cancer). It may be used to treat other conditions as determined by your doctor. If you are only being treated for vaginal menopause symptoms products applied locally such as vaginal creams tablets or rings should be considered before products taken by mouth or absorbed through the skin. There are several medicines (e.g. raloxifene or bisphosphonates) that are safe and effective to prevent or treat bone loss. These medicines should be considered for use before estrogen therapy for osteoporosis. If you have other medical conditions as well and are prescribed estrogens for more than one condition consult your doctor about your treatment plan and its options. Estrogen-containing products should not be used to prevent heart disease. Buy Premarin (Estrogens) and other Women's Health products online at Medstore. Buy Online at Medstore - Click Here!
