Prempro FAQ #4:Are the estrogens and progestins that are in birth control pills the same as those in Prempro? Do they have the same risks?Birth control pills also contain estrogens and progestins but different kinds and different doses. All estrogens have similar side effects. However, the risks of particular side effects may differ since birth control pills are used by younger women with a different health status compared to postmenopausal women.

As with taking any estrogens, the use of birth control pills is also associated with increased risks of several serious conditions including heart attack, blood clots, stroke, liver tumors, and gallbladder disease. These risks are higher in women with underlying risk factors of high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and cigarette smokers.

Prempro FAQ #5:Are estrogens in patches, vaginal creams, or vaginal rings safer than tablet forms?It has not been determined if other forms are safer than tablets. Estrogens are available in a variety of forms including trans-dermal patches, estrogen gels, and vaginal creams and rings. Most of the data on the long-term estrogen health effects come from studies involving oral estrogen and progestin tablets. Until there is more data, the FDA recommends that postmenopausal women who take estrogen and progestin in other dosage forms be similarly warned about harmful health risks.

The amount of estrogen that enters the blood stream from estrogen-containing vaginal creams and rings can vary depending on the specific product; how it is used, and these factors vary from woman to woman. The FDA encourages manufacturers to provide drug blood level information with the physician prescribing information. However, it is important to realize that little is still known about the relationship between estrogen blood levels and potential health risks.

Prempro FAQ #8:What is Premarin? Does it have harmful side effects like Prempro?Premarin is a conjugated estrogen extracted from pregnant mares’ urine (PMU). It is manufactured by Wyeth-Ayerst Laboratories, Inc., and is most commonly prescribed for estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) to relieve hormonal deficiency symptoms associated with menopause or hysterectomy. More recently, it has been prescribed to help prevent osteoporosis and heart disease. Marketed for the past 50 years, Premarin is the most widely used ERT drug and currently prescribed to more than nine million American women.

Animal rights groups have drawn attention to Premarin because of the methods used to collect the pregnant mares’ urine. Each mare is kept tethered in a narrow stall for four to six months with a rubber cup positioned over her vulva to collect the urine flow. The cup is held in place by overhead supports and a partial body harness. The tether and collection equipment greatly restrict movement and the mare is unable to turn around or take more than a step or two in any direction.

Some of the long-term disadvantages of taking Premarin include increased risk of developing uterine and breast cancers.

Monheit Law is investigating Prempro Cancer cases for long term users of Prempro who have developed either breast or ovarian cancer.
