Prempro is an estrogen replacement / progestin and is used for the following:

• Hot flashes, night sweats, and flushes caused by menopause
• Vaginal dryness and burning caused by menopause
• Prevention of postmenopausal osteoporosis (not a first-choice)

Prempro is a combination of two medications. Conjugated estrogens is a mixture of estrogens that replaces the estrogen your body loses during menopause. It relieves hot flashes, relieves vaginal dryness, and strengthens bones. Medroxyprogesterone is a progestin that protects the uterus from damage and helps prevent uterine cancer.

Prempro: Take 1 tablet by mouth once daily. Since there are many strengths of conjugated estrogens and medroxyprogesterone available, ask your provider which combination strength you should be taking.
