What is Premarin Vaginal Cream?

Premarin Vaginal Cream is a prescription medication used to manage the vaginal symptoms of menopause including atrophy, burning, dryness, irritation, and pain during sex.

The topical medication consists of conjugated estrogens, which means it contains a variety of estrogen hormones (instead of a single type). Conjugated estrogens topical creams work by supplying estrogens the body may not produce in adequate quantities as a result of menopause. This can help support and rebuild vaginal tissue.

Vaginal estrogen may be prescribed to people dealing with vaginal menopausal symptoms and/or looking to improve their sexual health (by enhancing their capacities for sexual intimacy). It may also be prescribed to people with kraurosis vulvae, a rare condition affecting the tissues around the vulva.

Conditions treated by Premarin Vaginal Cream

Premarin Vaginal Cream is most commonly used for the management of vaginal menopausal symptoms. As women enter and proceed through menopause, the ovaries produce less estrogen, which can lead to thinning and dryness in the vaginal tissue. This can result in a range of symptoms including vaginal atrophy, burning, dryness, irritation, and/or pain during sex.

When estrogen topical cream is inserted into the vagina, it is absorbed by the vaginal tissues. The additional estrogens can help rebuild vaginal tissue and ease some or all of the vaginal symptoms of menopause.

In some cases, Premarin Vaginal Cream may be used for the management of kraurosis vulvae, a rare disease that often corresponds with menopause and is characterized by intense itching, inflammation, and fissured tissue around the vulva. Again, supplemental estrogens may help support and rebuild this tissue.

Premarin Vaginal Cream may also be used for other purposes as determined by a medical professional.
