What animals are used to produce Premarin cream?
Premarin is a contraction for Pregnant Mare's Urine. It is used to treat menopausal symptoms in women, and is manufactured by Wyeth Pharmaceuticals (part of Pfizer since January 2009).Harvested for their urine, the horses suffer terribly for the production of this drug. They are kept continually pregnant in stalls too small for them to even turn around in order for their urine to be collected by dirty, bulky tubing attached to their bodies. When they can no longer reproduce quickly they are sent to the slaughterhouse. Their meat is then sold for human consumption or dog food.
What plant does Premarin come from?
Premarin doesn't come from a plant. It's made from the urine of pregnant mares (female horses). The name Premarin comes from the source of the estrogen-- PREgnant MAres' uRINe. A mare is pregnant for 10 months. Beginning in the fourth month, the mare is placed in a small stall, just large enough for her to step forward and back one step, and just wide enough for her to shift slightly from side to side. She is hooked up to a urine collection device for 20-22 hours a day. In order to concentrate the urine and provide a higher level of collected estrogen, her water intake is restricted. This is her living arrangement for the remaining 6 months of her pregnancy. Mares are kept in production, foaling every year, for eight to nine years. When no longer able to reproduce, they are sold for slaughter. Under normal circumstances, a domestic equine will live 20 to 25 years.
Is there equine estrogen in estradiol?
In a sense, yes. Conjugated equine estrogens are collected from pregnant mare urine and then are used to supplement women going through menopause. This product was marketed as Premarin and sold by Wyeth Pharmaceuticals. The pregnant mares are restrained and their urine collected. The by-product, of course, is the mare's foal. Some PMU (pregnant mare urine) foals are bred to be pedigreed and sell well. Other less responsible breeders do not put much thought into the resulting foal, which led a lot of animal rights groups to question the practice. EC
