A member asked:

Is taking an o-t-c estrogen pill better than prempro (conjugated estrogens and medroxyprogesterone)? i worry about getting cancer with prempro (conjugated estrogens and medroxyprogesterone).

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Estrog amt not known: The 2002 study showed and increased risk, not an occurance of breast cancer, presumably due to the pro part of prempro (conjugated estrogens and medroxyprogesterone). Speak with your dr. About a different hormone combination. A known amount of hormone in a medication is far superior to otc meds...If you really need them. At age 40, i would also check with your dr as to whether you are menopausal.
