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

Premarin is also used to replace estrogen in women with ovarian failure or other conditions that cause a lack of natural estrogen in the body.

Do not use if you are pregnant.

Premarin may increase your risk of developing a condition that may lead to uterine cancer. Report any unusual vaginal bleeding right away.
