Recent Premarin Side Effects

Posted by rachelv about 1 year ago
I have been in surgical menopause for 3 weeks now. I was put on Premarin .6 mg 2 weeks ago. For those last 2 weeks, I have been so constantly nauseous, occasionally vomiting. I'm lucky to eat 2 pieces of toast & a cup of tea each day! Still having hot flashes, not as soaking wet as before but still pretty uncomfortable. Does anyone have similar issues?

I am 52 and had a hysterectomy at 28, so I've been on lots of different kinds of estrogens in that time. Once I went on Premarin until I found out that it is made from pregnant mares' urine ( the "mar-" in the name of the med). They are confined to very small stalls and have catheters to catch all of their urine. Many of their colts are born unhealthy, which is no surprise. If this disturbs you, remember - there are LOTS of good alternatives. I'm trying what are known as "bio-identical" estrogens next this summer.

Premarin Chemical Information

conjugated estrogens - Purified orally bioavailable female sex hormones isolated from pregnant mare urine or synthetically derived from plant materials and primarily conjugated as sulfate esters. Estrogen binds to and activates specific nuclear receptors, which, in turn, bind to estrogen response elements (EREs) in target genes, resulting in histone acetylation, alteration of chromatin conformation, and initiation of transcription. (NCI04)
