Premarin (conjugated estrogen)
Q: I have been on Premarin (conjugated estrogen) for ten years
and would now like to stop taking it. Is this a good idea? Would sure like
an answer. Thank you!
-- M.H.
Dr. Donnica: This is a question that should be addressed by your
physician. Only your doctor can give you the best advice about what's right
for you. While there has been a lot of news lately about the risks of HRT increasing
slightly after 10 years, in general, I don't recommend that women who have benefited
from estrogen stop taking it just because they're hit their 10th anniversary
if nothing else has changed. For more complete information about HRT, click

Good luck--
