Greta, There are many estrogen replacements for Premarin. Why are you so adamant about taking something made from horse urine that is not natural to your body? You wold be better advised to switch to a topical estrogen (patch) and natural progesterone cream to balance the estrogen. The patches generally use a natural (bio-identical) estrogen which is less likely to cause side effects and is easier for your body to control. Dr. John Lee has a really good book on menopause that explains all about these various hormones and how they work in our bodies. You might feel more comfortable making this decision with a little more knowledge under your belt. His website is http://www.johnleemd.com and his books are also available at many health food and book stores. Take care and remember, knowledge is power! BJ
