Safely Buy Premarin ( Conjugated Estrogen ) from Canada Prescriptions Plus.

Indications

Premarin is an estrogen medication used to treat symptoms of menopause including hot flashes and vaginal discharge. The medication can also be used to prevent osteoporosis from developing in menopausal women.

This menopause medication combines a mixture of estrogen hormones, conjugated estrogens, which help replace and balance estrogen levels that are missing or decreased during menopause. Thanks to this action, Premarin can help maintain bone health and strength which is at risk when estrogen levels drop during menopause.

Conjugated estrogen has been shown to increase the quality of life for women in menopause by treating and decreasing related symptoms. Most oral hormone therapies add a progesterone with the estrogens, especially for non-hysterectomized women, to reduce the risk of developing endometrial cancer.
