My doctor has wanted me to get off the Estrogen many times through the years but I have refused to do so, at one time having to change doctors. If someone has a stroke or heart attack, just because they are taking estrogen, they blame it on the drug. Many people have strokes and heart attacks that have never taken estrogen. I told my doctor that I am not willing to go through a lifetime of suffering just because I may or may not one day have something happen to me, that may or may not be the effects of the drug. There are side effects from any drug on the market. | F | 75 | 35 years 1.25 1X day | 10/11/2011 | 5 | Dr prescribed | My new physician wants to take me off and after reading all of the comments of women my age I will inform her that I want to stay on the drug. | F | 75 | 30 years .065 1X day | 6/24/2014 | 5 | Partial hysterectomy | None | I have taken this forty years not ten but there was no number 40 | F | 75 | 1 years .625 | 3/11/2015 | 4 | keep strong bones | none other than weight little weight gain | F | 75 | 10 years .625 | 4/12/2014 | 5 | Initially for menopausal symptoms | I've had nothing but good experience with Premarin and Provera.

PREMARIN (ESTROGENS, CONJUGATED): This medication is a female hormone. It is used by women to help reduce symptoms of menopause (such as hot flashes, vaginal dryness). These symptoms are caused by the body making less estrogen. If you are using this medication to treat symptoms only in and around the vagina, products applied directly inside the vagina should be considered before medications that are taken by mouth, absorbed through the skin, or injected. Certain estrogen products may also be used by women after menopause to prevent bone loss (osteoporosis). However, there are other medications (such as raloxifene, bisphosphonates including alendronate) that are also effective in preventing bone loss and may be safer. These medications should be considered for use before estrogen treatment. Certain estrogen products may also be used by men and women to treat cancers (certain types of prostate cancer, breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body) and by women who are not able to produce enough estrogen (for example, due to hypogonadism, primary ovarian failure).
