Overview
NOTE: After selecting this product, you will need to complete a short assessment, so we can make sure this medication is suitable for you. Pricing is provided as a reference only. The final decision on issuing this medication remains with our Prescriber / Pharmacist.
Oral Premarin tablets are designed for women who have not had a period in 12 consecutive months. This form of medication usually contains estradiol. This works to replace oestrogen deficiency and a synthetic form of progesterone.
Some tablets contain both hormones; some have a 14-day cycle of a single hormone with a 14-day cycle of combined hormones or can contain only oestrogen.
The purpose of Premarin tablets is to level out the hormone imbalance that occurs during menopause so that symptoms are alleviated.
