Prescription Premarin Vaginal Cream Drug Information

BEFORE USING THIS MEDICINE: WARNING: Estrogens have been reported to increase the chance of womb (endometrial) cancer, especially in women who receive estrogen-only hormone therapy. Estrogens may also increase the risk of cancer of the ovary. Estrogen-containing products should not be used to prevent heart disease or dementia. Estrogen taken alone or in combination with another hormone (progestin) can increase the risk of heart disease (including heart attacks), stroke, serious blood clots in the lung (pulmonary embolism) or leg (deep venous thrombosis), cancer of the breast, or dementia. These risks appear to depend on the length of time this medicine is used and the amount of estrogen per dose. Therefore, this medicine should be used for the shortest possible length of time at the lowest effective dose, so you obtain the benefits and minimize the chance of serious side effects from long-term treatment. Consult your doctor/pharmacist for details. Some medicines or medical conditions may interact with this medicine. INFORM YOUR DOCTOR OR PHARMACIST of all prescription and over-the-counter medicine that you are taking.
