Premarin Cream


Generic Name: Conjugated Estrogens Vaginal Cream (CON-ju-gate-ed ESS-tro-jenz)
Brand Name: Premarin

Premarin Cream increases the chances of getting cancer of the uterus. Report any unusual vaginal bleeding right away while using Premarin Cream. Vaginal bleeding after menopause may be a warning sign of cancer of the uterus (womb). Your health care provider should check any unusual vaginal bleeding to find out the cause.

Do not use Premarin Cream with or without progestins (eg, medroxyprogesterone) to prevent heart disease, heart attacks, strokes, or dementia. Using estrogens with or without progestins may increase your chances of getting heart attacks, strokes, breast cancer, and blood clots. Using estrogens, with or without progestins, may increase your risk of dementia, based on a study of women 65 years of age or older. You and your health care provider should talk regularly about whether you still need treatment with Premarin Cream.


Premarin Cream is used for:

Treating certain menopause symptoms (eg, vaginal dryness) and certain other vaginal conditions. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.

Premarin Cream is a mixture of female estrogen hormones. It works by replacing natural estrogens in a woman who can no longer produce enough estrogen.
