Uses of Premarin Tablet

Benefits of Premarin Tablet

In Hormone replacement therapy

Hormone placement therapy (HRT) is a treatment to relieve symptoms of menopause such as hot flushes, night sweats, mood swings, vaginal dryness, and reduced sex drive. Since menopause can last for several years, this treatment can make a big improvement to your daily life and mood. Estrogen is one of two important hormones (the other is progesterone) used in this treatment. You should use this medicine as it is prescribed, and for as long as it is prescribed by your doctor.

In Prevention of Post menopausal osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is a common condition that weakens bones, making them fragile and more likely to break. It often occurs in women after menopause (end of a woman's menstrual cycles) and is known as post-menopausal osteoporosis. Premarin Tablet helps to keep your bones strong and healthy and reduces the risk of osteoporosis. It also helps maintain bone density and reduces your risk of bone fracture. You should use this medicine as it is prescribed, and for as long as it is prescribed by your doctor.
