Premplus is manufactured by Wyeth-Ayerst. Premplus is taken as two pills everyday. In the US, both ingredients are combined into one pill so that you would only take one pill daily. However, in Canada, the two ingredients are made into separate pills. This medicine is an estrogen and progesterone combination used to treat the symptoms of menopause. It may also be used to treat certain menstrual disorders, osteoporosis, or other conditions as determined by your doctor. Alternative medicines to prevent bone loss (osteoporosis) include raloxifene and bisphosphonate drugs such as alendronate.

Why is Prempro prescribed?
Prempro is an estrogen replacement drug. The tablets are used to reduce moderate to severe symptoms of menopause, including feelings of warmth in the face, neck, and chest, and the sudden intense episodes of heat and sweating known as "hot flashes." Cenestin tablets, containing a synthetic form of conjugated estrogens, may also be prescribed for these symptoms. In addition to the symptoms of menopause, Prempro tablets are prescribed for teenagers who fail to mature at the usual rate, and to relieve the symptoms of certain types of cancer, including some forms of breast and prostate cancer. In addition, either the tablets or Prempro vaginal cream can be used for other conditions caused by lack of estrogen, such as dry, itchy external genitals and vaginal irritation. Along with diet, calcium supplements, and exercise, Prempro tablets are also prescribed to prevent postmenopausal osteoporosis, a condition in which the bones become brittle and easily broken. Before taking Prempro solely for this purpose, you should carefully consider using alternative, nonestrogen therapies.
The addition of progesterone to estrogen-replacement therapy has been shown to reduce the risk of uterine cancer. Prempro combines estrogen and progesterone in a single tablet taken once daily. Premphase is a 28-day supply of tablets. The first 14 contain only estrogen. The second 14 supply both estrogen and progesterone. Both Prempro and Premphase are prescribed to reduce the symptoms of menopause, including vaginal problems, and to prevent osteoporosis.
Most important fact
Because estrogens have been linked with an increased risk of uterine and endometrial cancer (cancer in the lining of the uterus), it is essential to have regular checkups and to report any unusual vaginal bleeding to your doctor immediately.
Prempro and other estrogen drugs, with or without progesterone, should not be used to prevent heart disease. Recent studies have confirmed an increased rate of heart attack, stroke, and dangerous blood clots among women taking estrogen or estrogen combinations for 5 years. Blood clots can lead to phlebitis, stroke, heart attack, a loss of blood supply to the lungs, a blockage in the blood vessels serving the eye, and other serious disorders.
How should you take Prempro?
Take Prempro exactly as prescribed. Do not share it with anyone else. If you are taking calcium supplements as a part of the treatment to help prevent brittle bones, check with your doctor about how much to take. You should take a few moments to read the patient package insert provided with your prescription. If you are using Prempro vaginal cream, apply it as follows:
1. Remove cap from tube.
2. Screw nozzle end of applicator onto tube.
3. Gently squeeze tube from the bottom to force sufficient cream into the barrel to provide the prescribed dose. Use the marked stopping points on the applicator as a guide.
4. Unscrew applicator from tube.
5. Lie on back with knees drawn up. Gently insert applicator deeply into the vagina and press plunger downward to its original position. To cleanse the applicator, pull the plunger to remove it from the barrel, then wash with mild soap and warm water. Do not boil or use hot water. --If you miss a dose...Take the forgotten dose as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the one you missed and go back to your regular schedule. Never try to "catch up" by doubling the dose. --Storage instructions...
Store Prempro at room temperature.
