Premarin 0.3mg reviews
0 reviews
Premarin isn't often prescribed anymore. It is an oestrogen only tablet that has been made up of many different types of oestrogen that are derived from the urine of pregnant horses.... For this reason, and the fact it has a higher blood clot risk than other forms of oestrogen, it is not classed as a first line HRT choice.

Method
Continuous or cyclical
Continuous HRT is where you take the same dose of both oestrogen and progesterone every day. It is used when your periods have stopped or when you have used cyclical HRT for more than 1 year. The aim of continuous HRT is to prevent bleeding.
Cyclical HRT is where you take breaks from the progesterone part of HRT, usually each month. You will usually have a withdrawal bleed around the time the progesterone has stopped. Some methods of HRT have this break built in already.

Oestrogen only
Oestrogen is the main component of HRT. If you have a uterus and are using oestrogen HRT then you will need to take a form of progesterone to protect the womb lining (endometrium) from overgrowing, as this can increase the risk of endometrial cancer.
