For Postmenopausal Symptoms "Doc prescribed it, but asked her to switch to Estrace and have good results. Y'all do realize that Premarin is a shortened version of Pregnant Mare Urine, which is what it's made from? They take large (most commonly Belgium Draft Horses) and confine them in small stalls for their 11-month gestation with their tails tied up and catheters on to harvest their urine. Female foals are cycled back into the program. Males are useless, so sold off to auction houses, some are lucky to get purchased by rescues, others are sold to end up as horse meat in other countries. The mares are bred again once they've foaled to continue the cycle. Ironic that a drug developed to help post-productive human females is derived from horrific treatment of female horses during their productive years. It is an awful life. Please find an alternative."

For Postmenopausal Symptoms "Awesome. Started working right away, within a day or two. No noticeable side effects. Easy to take. Only drawback is some insurances do not accept it, and it is rather expensive. All natural."
