| 5 | hysterectomy | None | I have been taking Premarin for 13 years and have always felt fine. I have to buy it on internet now as GP won't supply it. After 6 years I started having panic attacks and developed high blood pressure.I don't think they are connected but maybe they are? I would like to stop in 2 years when I am 65 but I am worried I will suddenly feel old. | F | 63 | 0.625 1X day | 4/15/2010 | 5 | after hysterectomy bad time | only good ones | beleive it or not I stayed on Premarin for 27 years doc said it was ok then a lady doctor came to my surgery and said to come off them.she gave a half dose and then finished. At 77 I am having all menopausal symptons and feel like a wet rag and in general pretty lousy.Dr gave pills to combat this but they do no good | F | 77 | 1..25 1X day | 2/20/2011 | 5 | No side effects although recent episodes of high blood pressure. | Taking Premarin for 30 years, good bones, hair skin and great energy, look very good for my age but don't feel vanity is issue.

I have not had any problems since going back on Premarin. | F | 41 | | 11/22/2009 | 5 | Complete hysterectomy at 33. | I have taken Premarin for 37 years, starting with 1.25 mg daily and reducing the dose over the years to .45 mg daily I'm 70, but still taking it as I feel it is beneficial to my heart, bones and skin. Also, I'm afraid to stop! | Both my ob/gyn and my internal medicine doctor agree it's ok to continue. | F | 70 | .45 1X day | 9/3/2016 | 4 | Post hysterectomy 1991 aged 45 | Had taken Premarin for 8 years without any side effects. Within one year of stopping the skin on the front my lower arms and the backs of my hands became wrinkly and detached. I am embarrassed by the condition which is rapidly appearing weird and scary to my daughter and granddaughter. I am a retired nurse and always cared for my hands with frequent lotions etc and the use of latex free gloves. Im convinced the problem is the aftermath of taking Premarin but has anybody similar side effects 8 to 12 months after withdrawl. | F | 67 | 30 mgs 1X day | 7/6/2014 | 4 | | 5/10/2005 | 4 | | 9/4/2005 | 3 | hot flashes | my body aches, tingling,breast ache,light headed.can't sleep | I have an appointment in 2 weeks with my dr I will continue my premarin till I speak with her | F | 52 | 0.45 1X day | 2/11/2012 | 3 | | 2/7/2005 | 3 | Dry Vagina - itching in genital are | | 9/17/2009 | 3 | Had a total hysterectomy | Waking up often during the night, restless legs syndrome, hot feet & hands thinning hair, weight loss, | I wish there was something else to take that won't have the side effects this medication has...Very worried | F | 60 | .0625 1X day | 11/14/2017 | 1 | Menopause | I HAVE A HARD TIME TAKING A DRUG THAT IS TAKEN FROM PREGNANT HORSE URINE WHERE THE ANIMALS ARE CONFINED IN TINY ENCLOSURES AND THEY CART THE BABY HORSES OFF TO SLAUGHTER AFTER THEY ARE BORN. | OVER 400 additional substances have been found in premarin. | F | 51 | 1X day | 2/16/2014 | 1 | Thin lining to vagina | Had a stroke both times been on it. Had to come of after first one. Then Dr. said it was a not what caused it . Started back hand another stroke ?? Never taking again. Strokes verified by scan and MRI. | Both times after coming of the cream. I have a temper problem. It is horrible. I get mad at the lest little thing. Its a wonder I am not in jail . | F | 67 | Cream 1X day | 12/28/2014 | 1 | Once I learned how premarin is produced, I can't believe that it's still legal to sell this drug. The mares whose urine is used to produce premarin are kept constantly pregnant; most of their lives are spent in enclosures so small they can't turn around or lay down; and the foals are considered a byproduct and usually end up being sold for slaughter, usually for human consumption in places such as Japan. | F | 58 | 1X day | 1/15/2015 | 1 | Hysterectomy/oophorectomy-26in2008 | F | 33 | 1.25 1X day | 5/6/2015 Patient History | 1 | will not, take plant-based hrt | i don't understand how so many women could blithely take this drug that is produced from so much suffering and death from the premarin mares and their foals. there are other hrt's that are produced without the awful impact of this drug. and lobular cancer is associated with taking of premarin. | F | 54 | | 8/29/2009 | 1 | total hysterectomy 4/06 | Look at my entry on 3/25/06. I stopped taking premarin 3/25/06 and as of today 3/30, I have absolutely no more pain or spasm. Premarin was making me become a criple. I was out of work for 1 1/2 weeks. Doctors said it was this and then it was that. (they were just guessing- they didnt know) NO MORE FOR ME. If I start having night sweats, I will try Clomera patch. | thanks to this website. It saved my life.. | F | 47 | | 3/30/2007 | 1 | i wasnt | If you older women actually knew where premarin came from and actually thought about it you probably would think twice about taking it.... PRE(pregnant) MAR(mare)IN(urine)... what do you think happens to all those babies that the mares have?! 99% of them get sent to slaughter houses!!! Thank you! have a nice day | F | 22 | | 4/18/2005 |
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).
