Benefits of PREMPRO

PREMPRO offers effective hormone therapy with low dose options to treat moderate to severe hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal symptoms.

PREMPRO relieves the symptoms of menopause.

Low doses of PREMPRO, such as 0.3 mg/1.5 mg and 0.45 mg/1.5 mg, have been proven to effectively relieve moderate to severe hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal symptoms. These options allow your healthcare professional to choose the option that is right for you.

You may start to feel relief from hot flashes in as little as 2 to 3 weeks.
Hot flashes and night sweats are likely to become less frequent and less intense.

If your symptoms of menopause are only vaginal symptoms such as dryness, burning, and itching in and around vagina, ask your doctor about vaginal estrogen cream.

PREMPRO helps prevent osteoporosis.

Postmenopausal women are especially susceptible to fractures of the hip, wrist, and spine. PREMPRO can help reduce your chances of developing osteoporosis because it has been shown to increase bone mineral density at the hip and spine and help prevent postmenopausal osteoporosis.

If you do not have menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes and night sweats, non-estrogen treatments should be carefully considered before taking PREMPRO solely for the prevention of postmenopausal osteoporosis.

PREMPRO offers low dose options.

PREMPRO offers low dose options for the shortest duration consistent with your treatment goals and risks.

PREMPRO comes in several dosage strengths-including two low dose formulations. These options allow your healthcare professional to choose the one that is right for you.

You should see your doctor regularly during therapy to review your treatment plan.

Ask your doctor about PREMPRO at your next visit.

You and your healthcare provider should talk regularly about whether you still need treatment with PREMPRO or PREMPHASE

If you use or are considering PREMPRO only to treat your menopausal changes in or around your vagina, talk with your healthcare provider about whether a topical vaginal product would be better for you.

If you use or are considering PREMPRO only to prevent osteoporosis due to menopause, talk with your healthcare provider about whether a different treatment or medicine without estrogens would be better for you.

Do not take PREMPRO if you have unusual vaginal bleeding; currently have or have had cancer of the breast or uterus; had a stroke or heart attack; currently have or have had blood clots; currently have or have had liver problems; have had a bleeding disorder; are allergic to PREMPRO or any of their ingredients; or think you may be pregnant.

In a clinical trial, the most common side effects (>5%) that occurred with PREMPRO were vaginal bleeding, vaginitis due to yeast or other causes, painful menstruation, breast enlargement, breast pain, and leg cramps.

PREMPRO (conjugated estrogens/medroxyprogesterone acetate tablets) is a prescription treatment used after menopause. PREMPRO is used after menopause to reduce moderate to severe hot flashes, to treat menopausal changes in and around the vagina, and to help reduce your chances of getting osteoporosis (thin, weak bones).
