A member asked:
Should a 80 yr old woman still be on 1.25 of premarin (conjugated estrogens)?!?!? she refuses to wean off of it even over a long period of time!

Probably OK: That dose of Premarin (conjugated estrogens) is equivalent to about 1% of what the normal ovaries produce each day before a women goes through menopause. It is a very lo dose and many studies show that it can be beneficial by decreasing the risk for stroke, heart attack, colon cancer, alzheimer's disease, and osteoporosis as well as decreasing hot flushes, night sweats, insomnia, vaginal dryness, and pelvic relaxation.
