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).    (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 2  early hysterectomy I have been taking premarin .0625 since 1989--experiencing weight gain and vision loss, with hot flashes and some leg cramping...Lately I complained a little to my Docter and she put me on Premarin 1.25....since then I have more weight gain, no hot flashes, no leg cramps...but now have an annoying discharge that sometimes looks like it is tainted with pink....I told my Docter about it and she said to go back on old prescription but to take one of the 1.25 premarins one day a week together with the reg. .0625 Premarin....Geez...maybe I should get another Docter--because nothing is really changing. F 54 12 years

 2  hot flashes and migraines discomfort throughout lymphatic system especially legs and nodes, vision deteriorated another notch, tiredness. Hasn't reduced flashes but I have had four uninterrupted night's sleep in one month, more than in the last ten years together. I have tried every natural remedy there is to no avail. The only one I have left which I am certain will sort things out is a Maharishi Ayurvedic Health Clininc but this is expensive and not available in my country. F 47 6 weeks
