About Premarin 0.3 Tablet

Premarin 0.3 Tablet belongs to the class of hormones used as ‘hormone replacement therapy’ to treat symptoms and conditions associated with menopause. During menopause, estrogen levels decrease, leading to hot flushes (feeling of heat over the face, neck, and chest). Women with menopause are at risk of developing osteoporosis (thinning of bones). Premarin 0.3 Tablet can be used to prevent osteoporosis after menopause.

Premarin 0.3 Tablet contains ‘conjugated estrogens’, which is used as hormone replacement therapy (HRT). It works by replacing the estrogen hormone in menopausal women. It also regulates the secretions of hormones such as luteinizing hormone (LH) (necessary for sexual function and the menstrual cycle) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) (regulates the menstrual cycle). These effects help to improve the symptoms of menopause.

Premarin 0.3 Tablet should be taken as advised by your doctor. The dose of medicine and duration of treatment will be decided by the doctor based on your medical condition. Premarin 0.3 Tablet may cause certain side effects such as abnormal vaginal bleeding or spotting, vaginal discharge, pain and swelling in the breasts, discharge from the nipples, changes in breast tissue, feeling or being sick, bloating, abdominal pain, headache, dizziness, mood changes, irritability, joint pain, leg cramps, increased or decreased libido (sexual desire), swelling of face or ankles, rashes on the skin, changes in hair growth, eye, weight and triglyceride levels (fats), intolerance to glucose, memory loss and jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes).

Premarin 0.3 Tablet should be avoided if you have a history of breast cancer, endometrial cancer (cancer of the lining of the womb), unexplained vaginal bleeding, untreated endometrial hyperplasia (thickening of the womb lining), have a blood clot in the veins (thrombosis), in the legs (deep vein thrombosis) or the lungs (pulmonary embolism), blood clotting disorder, heart attack or angina (chest pain), inherited porphyria (a blood disorder) or liver disease. It is not recommended for use in pregnant and breastfeeding women. Stop taking Premarin 0.3 Tablet and consult your doctor immediately if you are allergic to it or if you develop jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), high blood pressure and migraine-like headache, become pregnant or notice signs of a blood clot such as redness, swelling and pain in the legs, sudden chest pain or difficulty in breathing. Inform your doctor if you have any intolerance to sugar.

Medicinal Benefits

These effects help to reduce the symptoms of menopause.
