Premarin Vaginal Cream, which contains the active ingredient Conjugated Estrogen, represents a synthetic form of the naturally occurring female hormone estrogen. It is recommended for use by postmenopausal women who have undergone a hysterectomy, serving as a hormone replacement therapy to help sustain adequate estrogen levels in the body. This medication is effective in alleviating vaginal symptoms associated with menopause, including discomfort during sexual intercourse, painful urination, vaginal irritation, burning sensations, and dryness.

 

Premarin Vaginal Cream should be applied topically inside the vagina once daily, or as advised by a physician. Typically, it is utilized in a regimen of 3 weeks followed by a 1-week break. It is important to consult a physician for the appropriate dosage and duration of treatment, which will depend on the individual’s condition and their reaction to the therapy. To use Premarin Vaginal Cream, carefully fill the applicator as instructed, insert it deeply into the vagina, and push the plunger to dispense the medication. After use, remove the applicator and wash it with warm, soapy water.
