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 used to treat symptoms of
menopause such as hot flashes, and vaginal dryness, burning, and irritation. Other uses include
prevention of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women, and replacement of estrogen in women with
ovarian failure or other conditions that cause a lack of natural estrogen in the body. Conjugated
estrogens are sometimes used as part of cancer treatment in women and men.
Conjugated estrogens should not be used to prevent heart disease or dementia, because
this medication may actually increase your risk of developing these conditions.
Conjugated estrogens may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.
