What is prempro?
Generic Name: conjugated estrogens-medroxyPROGESTERone
Other Brand Names:
conjugated estrogens-medroxyPROGESTERone, Premphase, medroxyPROGESTERone-conjugated estrogens
Conjugated estrogens are a mixture of estrogen hormones. Estrogen is a female sex hormone
produced by the ovaries that is necessary for many processes in the body.
Medroxyprogesterone is also a female hormone, usually called "progesterone." It is important
for the regulation of ovulation and menstruation.
Together, conjugated estrogens and medroxyprogesterone are used to treat the symptoms of
menopause such as hot flashes, and vaginal dryness, burning, and irritation, and to prevent thinning of
the bones (osteoporosis).
Conjugated estrogens and medroxyprogesterone should not be used to prevent heart
disease or dementia, because this medication may actually increase your risk of developing these
conditions.
Conjugated estrogens and medroxyprogesterone may also be used for other purposes not listed
in this medication guide.
