INDICATIONS

Premarin (conjugated estrogens) Vaginal Cream therapy is indicated in the treatment of atrophic vaginitis and kraurosis vulvae.

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION

Use of Premarin Vaginal Cream, alone or in combination with a progestin, should be limited to the shortest duration consistent with treatment goals and risks for the individual woman. Patients should be reevaluated periodically as clinically appropriate (for example at 3-month to 6-month intervals) to determine if treatment is still necessary (See BOXED WARNINGS and WARNINGS). For women with a uterus, adequate diagnostic measures, such as endometrial sampling, when indicated, should be undertaken to rule out malignancy in cases of undiagnosed persistent or recurring abnormal vaginal bleeding.

½ to 2 g daily, intravaginally, depending on the severity of the condition.
