    ANY COMPOUND PHARMACY: Makes this comparable cream for $25 to $50. Call your pharmacy first and ask him what he needs from your Doc. Mine told me to have the RX of Estradiol 1ml inserted vag. and the Doc decides the frequency. OMG SAVE THE MONEY!!! When we all do this the price will come down.

    My OBGyn did not want to prescribe this to me as he is anti-HRT. However, as sex in my late 50s was becoming more and more painful and no amount of lube in a tube was helping, I insisted so he gave in. Hallelujah, sex doesn't hurt anymore. Yes, there's discharge (just like the old days - I consider that a benefit) and minor breast tenderness. My two beefs are these: predatory pricing (late ... Show Full Comment

    I had given up on having sex ever again because the pain was unbearable. The skin inside my vagina would rip and bleed. But then I started premarin cream. For one month I took the lowest dose. Then increased it twice a week and now take the highest dose twice weekly. I cant believe the difference. I'm a new woman with a new libido. The meds (5 tubes) cost me nothing because I make under a cert ... Show Full Comment

    As far as easing the vaginal dryness, it works great. The only side effect I've noticed is hair loss. Not at first but the sides of my head around the temple area are receding there. I'm losing hair. The only thing I can attribute to it is the Premarin cream. I have been hypothyroid for 19 years
