Select Safety Information:

Using estrogen alone may increase your chance of getting cancer of the uterus (womb). Report any unusual vaginal bleeding right away while you are using an estrogen product. Vaginal bleeding after menopause may be a warning sign of cancer of the uterus. Your healthcare provider should check any unusual vaginal bleeding to find out the cause.

Do not use estrogens with or without progestins to prevent heart disease, heart attacks, strokes, or dementia (decline in brain function).

Using estrogen alone may increase your chances of getting strokes or blood clots. Using estrogens with progestins may increase your chances of getting heart attacks, strokes, breast cancer, or blood clots. Using estrogens, with or without progestins, may increase your chance of getting dementia, based on a study of women 65 years of age or older.

The risks listed above are based on a study of an oral estrogen product, with and without a progestin. Since other products and doses have not been studied in the same way, it is not known how the use of Duavee, Estring, and Premarin Vaginal Cream will affect your chances of getting these conditions.

Do not take other progestin, estrogen, or estrogen agonist/antagonist products while taking Duavee or Prempro.

Estrogens with or without progestins should be used at the lowest dose possible, only for as long as needed. You and your healthcare provider should talk regularly about whether you still need treatment.

These are not all the risks for these products. Please see full Important Safety Information for more detail on this website.

Stages of menopause

The duration of hot flashes varies and can last up to 14 years in some women. It’s important to understand where you are in your menopause experience.

Perimenopause

This is the first stage of menopause where estrogen levels begin to decline and fluctuate, and your period may become irregular.

This typically begins in your mid to late 40s but may happen earlier or later. You may begin to experience some symptoms.

Menopause

Once you've not had a period after 12 consecutive months, you've reached menopause.

The average age is 52 years, and by now your estrogen levels have dropped considerably. You may begin to experience symptoms more consistently.

Postmenopause

This stage is for all the years after menopause, which on average begins at age 52 years. You may continue to experience symptoms.

Educate yourself on menopause

There are various terms related to menopause. We've highlighted a few that you may have come across.
Hot flashes
The clinical term for hot flashes is vasomotor symptoms (VMS). VMS includes both hot flashes and excessive sweating. Hot flashes can occur due to decreased estrogen levels. Up to 80% of women experience VMS, including hot flashes.
Vaginal symptoms
Menopause can lead to changes in and around the vagina and lower urinary tract as a result of low estrogen levels. This is known as genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM). Symptoms include vaginal dryness, burning or irritation, painful sex, urinary urgency, dysuria, and sudden urge to urinate.
Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis can occur due to menopause, and on average, menopausal women lose up to 10% of their bone density. Some women may lose up to 20%.
Hormones and treatment
Menopause Hormone Therapies may also be referred to as HRT. The terms are used interchangeably and refer to the same treatments.

Estrogens are the sex hormones responsible for the development and regulation of the female reproductive system. Estrogens decline during menopause, causing certain symptoms.

Progestins are synthetic forms of the hormone progesterone, which is naturally produced in the body. They are used in various medical treatments, such as birth control, hormone replacement therapy, and to manage conditions like premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and abnormal uterine bleeding.
