How Does Premarin Work?
Premarin works by replacing estrogen levels in the body that decrease during menopause. By restoring estrogen, it helps alleviate menopausal symptoms, supports the health of the vaginal lining, and reduces the risk of osteoporosis by promoting calcium retention in bones.

- For vasomotor symptoms: The usual starting dose is 0.625 mg taken orally once daily, which may be adjusted based on individual response.
