Men should not use the female drug called Prempro.
It might temporarily, but then the withdrawal bleeding would probably start again when you stopped Prempro.
Yes, there is a generic equivalent for Prempro, which is a combination of conjugated estrogens and medroxyprogesterone acetate. The generic versions may be available under different brand names or simply as the individual components. However, it's essential to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the most appropriate option based on individual health needs.
Prempro, a combination of estrogen and progesterone used for hormone replacement therapy, can have varying effects on libido. Some women may experience an increase in sexual desire due to the alleviation of menopausal symptoms such as vaginal dryness and discomfort, while others may not notice significant changes. Individual responses can differ based on hormonal balance, personal health, and psychological factors. Consulting with a healthcare provider is essential for tailored advice and management.
Zyrtec (cetirizine), Prempro (a combination of estrogen and progestin), and Coricidin (an antihistamine and decongestant) can generally be taken together, but it's important to consult a healthcare provider before combining them. Each medication has different effects and potential interactions, particularly regarding sedative effects or other health conditions. Always check with a doctor or pharmacist to ensure safety based on your specific health profile and any other medications you may be taking.
Yes. I work for Huamne officers and the head officer is 60 and we were talking about menapause and stuff one day and she had said that her doctor wanted her to take prempro and that she refused because being a humane officer and knowing what they do to the horses she could not participate in that. She said that it is actually mare urine and that they keep the mare pregnant constintly by aborting the foals and then getting pregnant all over again. So they are killing baby horses and putting the mares through horrible abuse to get the urine with the hormones in it. I am in training to become an officer myself and I have heard plenty of people state wide say my head officer is the best so I believe she knows what she is talking about.
My doctor said a generic is just out.... and gave me a prescription for Estra/Noreth Tab 1-0.5 mg Package says generic equiv of activella tab. THIS WAS THE ANSWER I RECEIVED FOR A "GENERIC FOR PRIMPRO". THERE IS NOTHING ON WEBMD FOR EITHER NAME MENTIONED.

Because your body has spent 20 to 60 years soaked in high levels of the hormones of the opposite sex to what you are taking now - you are swimming against the stream. Most likely lower amounts of hormones will reduce your reactions and your doctor can increase the levels slowly. Talk to your GP, your endocrinologist and your therapist. Why you get sick from the hormones depends on the exact hormones given and your body. If you are taking spironolactone as a hormone blocker, you could be suffering an electrolyte imbalance. It is a potassium sparing diruetic, and you may have to increase the sodium intake or lower your potassium intake. Medical tests can determine this. Another possibility is that your doctor prescribed Provera (or PremPro which contains Provera). Provera is really not a good choice for a progestin, especially in transsexual women, and it can have some very bad side-effects. The side-effects may include increased aggression, irritability, suicidality, loss of vision, sore gums, digestive disturbances, hair loss, deepening of the voice, etc. If you are taking Provera and experiencing problems, you should stop taking it. You can get by not taking a progestin (you don't have a uterus), or you can switch to another type such as micronized progesterone or Duphaston (if you can get it in your country).
Symptoms are common among perimenopausal and postmenopausal women. Some symptoms and problems are due to hormonal changes of the menopausal transition, while others result from the aging process and adverse lifestyle factors. /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Well yes, we ALL know this already, so could you please answer the question???? I recently read that women who go through early menopause have a much lower life expectancy (60-70 yrs. as opposed to 70 - 80+) but I can't seem to recall or find it on the web now..... Can someone please answer the asker's question? ty. ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Well, to quote a study done by the Mayo Clinic, "Premature menopause or early menopause may be either spontaneous or induced. Women who experience premature menopause (before age 40 years) or early menopause (between ages 40 and 45 years) experience an increased risk of overall mortality, cardiovascular diseases, neurological diseases, psychiatric diseases, osteoporosis, and other sequelae. The risk of adverse outcomes increases with earlier age at the time of menopause. Some of the adverse outcomes may be prevented by estrogen treatment initiated after the onset of menopause. However, estrogen alone does not prevent all long-term consequences and other hormonal mechanisms are likely involved." It's important though to know the DANGERS of estrogen treatment - specifically HRT (traditional... Premarin, Prempro... the ones that use synthetic estrogens derived from the urine of pregnant horses. No kidding - look it up). Because the NIH did a study as part of the "Women's Health Initiative" and found that HRT used long term had some extremely dangerous potential side effects, namely heart attackes, strokes, blood clots and breast cancer. They actually had to halt the study because the outcome was so bad. What I would suggest for you (whether you're in perimenopause or full-blown menopause) is to do a combination of a safe, herbal menopause support product (you can find a Free Report on the herbs to look for at my site... I think if you click my name it'll show you my contact info) AND I'd also start to educate yourself on bio-identical hormones... entirely different than traditional HRT. You can learn more about those in Suzanne Somer's book "Ageless" and also at Dr. Mercola's site (just google him). But definitely look into a combo of the herbal menopause symptom relief as well as possibly bio-identical hormones which you may need down the line. Hope that better answers your question. Best of luck!
There are many different treatments available; however, it's important to know that the treatment is actually for the symptoms, not menopause itself. The Mayo Clinic lists several different possible treatments to help relieve the symptoms of Menopause (I've listed the link below). Their list includes various Estrogen treatments, hormone therapy, anti-depressants and other options. Doing your research is great, but remember that nothing replaces the advice of a doctor.
The most effective way to stop hot flashes is to reduce the amount of stress, caffeine, alcohol, spicy foods, and cigarettes from your life. The other good cure is to keep your house cooler at night to reduce the night sweats.
