Prempro contains a combination of conjugated estrogens and medroxyprogesterone. Estrogen is a female sex hormone produced by the ovaries. Estrogen is necessary for many processes in the body. Conjugated estrogens are a mixture of estrogen hormones.

Medroxyprogesterone is a form of progesterone, a female hormone important for regulating ovulation and menstruation.

Prempro is used to treat menopause symptoms such as hot flashes and vaginal changes, and to prevent osteoporosis (bone loss) in menopausal women.

Prempro should not be used to prevent heart disease or dementia, because this medication may actually increase your risk of developing these conditions.
