Was prescribed this for perimenopause vaginal atrophy I find it very helpful in easing the burning urethra and support moisture to the area
My insurance company pays 100%. It is effective for relief of pain during sex. No adverse side effects. I've been using it for 2 years. I have to be very quick and nimble with the application because the cream really shoots out of the tube. I learned fast.
First, I have to say I definitely DEFINITELY get systemic benefits from premarin used vaginally. When I use it I have less of a need for topical estradiol (evamist). Benefits include: improved mood, less hot flashes and increased energy. Frankly? I almost think I get more of THOSE benefits than any real vaginal improvement? Clearly still have atrophy. That said.. highly recommend. For the complaints I see and I have ALSO experienced them: 1) The "tube problem". When squeezing out.. do NOT squeeze particularly when tube is NEW. THe "excess" release is MUCH more of a problem until the tube is about half empty. So when new and pushing out a dose do a VERY VERY light tweak at the very end of the tube, let it AUTOMATICALLY come out and bring that amount into the applicator. I have no problem with excess anymore using this approach. 2) You can import up to 3 months of any NON CONTROLLED rx. You have a valid prescription? Even better. I pay $38 a tube. No insurance. Been doing it for years now. Easy peasy.
It is evil! Don’t use it! My heels started cracking with 3 months of use. I stopped using it and my heels became normal again.
Experiencing burning and itchy sensation along with fullness. Taking .5, lowest dose and quitting treatment. Would rather give up sex
I am glad I live in Canada after reading the American reviews. The cost in Canada is like under 60 bucks a tube. However, in saying that I also don’t like the fact that pregnant horses are being used for my benefit. I’ve only been on it now 3 weeks and I don’t like the headaches, the nausea, dizziness. What I do like getting up so often in the night. This is my first week of doing it twice a week and I already forgot to take it on the day I was supposed to, and I have now have a major headache. I’d rather be sore during intercourse, then dizzy or have a headaches. Sex for me is over in no time anyways at age 51 with my partner. I think I can put up with it more than I could the dizziness, headaches, mood swings on it.
Topical cream / Premarin. Took for one week and now have constant stinging and burning. Did not have this prior to the cream. Is it possible this actually set something offa d made things worse? Am very worried as it’s been like this for almost 2weeks and I’ve stopped using it
Yes, it helped with less painful sex. Unfortunately, it caused me to have emotional upset and downs like PMS. No thank you, threw it out.
The product is extremely over price and get very little of the product in the tube due to amount needed to achieve satisfaction. Over $400 per tube and insurance will pay only small amunt and restricts doses covered. I pay mostly out of pocket.
The pea size amount prescribed is impossible to insert and get it to stay and when some does stay it causes itching.
Warning. Several years ago my mother died of breast cancer. She was the first person in her family line that had it. She had been taking Premarin for years. Her doctor said that he believed that her breast cancer (like so many other women) was caused by Premarin use.
I am satisfied with results (MUCH better than Esperdiol, which seems to change texture, getting "curdy", and doesn't stay in the body) as mist reviewers have already said. Also, I heartily agree that the price is prohibitive - WHY is there no generic "and never will be"??!. I will continue to rely on Premarin bcuz I now consider it necessary, both for sex and relieving several side effects to growing older - I am 71. ALSO, I am happy to report I have an answer to Premarin's uncomfortable applicator :-) Invest ~$15 in a vaginal lubricant called Replenze because its applicator is SO much more gentle. After two yrs on HRT, my gyn has me use .5 to 1.0 g of Premarin and an equal dose of Replenze each week - it works for me and I am much closer to affording it.
After application, it does not stay in my body.
As I read the other reviews all I can say is thank god I live in Canada! The medication cost me $35.79 of which the government pays 75% because I'm over 65.
It driving me bananas one day Im fine the next day im ok and by the third day I want to cry. Im not sure if this going yo help me sexually. I havent had sex in such a long time. Its not pleasant because you deal with pain. Another thing, I just read about the mares and the suffering these poor things go through.Im going to ask my doctor to give me something different. I dont need a mare to suffer like Im suffering, ill see something different.
I used Premarin for 3 months and when I learned of the horrible torture mares go through in Premarin farms I stopped immediately. To my surprise, I realised I did not really need it and could live very well without it. No bad side effects either ...and I feel so good not being a part of the Premarin customers...
Two funky mamos within 2 years of using this product. Still waiting the results of 2nd mamo. Stop using this if you have one bad mamo. Learn from my mistake.
Premarin cream is expensive. I have been getting it for free for 4 years from Pfizer
I just started this because of the painfull intercourse,haven't had sex yet as I've only been on it for 4 days, husband is out of town for 5 days a week so I hope I can tell a difference. My pharmacist did find a coupon for me and I only have to pay 15.00 for 2 mo.
First, I don’t use the applicator. I told my doctor that most of the time the cream was falling out into the toilet in the morning. She said to place in on my finger and rub it inside and outside. This made a huge difference since it was actually being absorbed now and not flushed. Also, Premarin website has coupons. I pay under $50 with insurance and coupon. I still have dryness but it’s better than it was.
