"I feel extremely fortunate to have had a female MD at the time I hit menopause. I was 50, and my husband died around the same time menopause hit. My MD prescribed Prempro 0.3/1.5, and I believe this has kept my body healthy for the past 19 years, and yes, I am still taking Prempro today. I still maintain a healthy sex life (with my long-term partner), my bone density is good, and my overall health is very good. My gynecologist refused to prescribe this many years ago, but my PCP continues to prescribe this for me. All my friends are just now learning about the health benefits of HRT, for many, it is too late, and some prefer to use bioidentical or natural hormones. Prempro helped me through my grief, it helped with hot flashes and night sweats, and helped prevent weight gain. It is very expensive, hopefully a generic someday soon! I will reach out to Pfizer to see about some sort of discount."

"I had frequent UTIs and hot flashes, also terrible vaginal dryness. After starting Prempro, I have no more of these symptoms. So happy this helped me."

"I have been using Prempro for about 1 1/2 months, and it has taken away the hot flashes on the 1st day! The only symptom I have had is tenderness in the breast area. Hope it keeps working."

"I had started to give up that Prempro would alleviate my hot flashes and night sweats, but lo and behold... at 8 weeks of use, they subsided! It was worth the wait as I feel great :)"

"I have been using this medicine for 1 year for hot flashes, and now I have developed sore breasts. Otherwise, this medicine is great, no more hot flashes. Have to use vaginal cream also."

"No sleeping without Prempro .0625, but I cannot reasonably continue to pay the outrageous, escalating price! Have nothing that helps pay for it. The price goes up almost monthly."

"Tried every over-the-counter possible! Pharmacist said this should start working right away. Nine days in, NIGHT SWEATS still 100%. Seems I’m sleeping longer at a time. Giving it 2 months $$$$$$$."

"I've been taking Prempro for 2 months, no more hot flashes, and I'm sleeping now. The only con is I've been bleeding lightly for 2 to three weeks, and my breast hurts. I think I'm done."

"Suffered from decreased mental ability, probably due to hot flashes that would last all day. Have been taking Prempro for 5 months and am now experiencing some pretty major depression."

"Ladies, breast cancer is a side effect of taking this. I would rather suffer with night sweats for the rest of my life, I cannot believe someone would take this risk knowing the facts."
