A member asked:

What are the most popular medicines prescribed for menopausal symptoms? premrin and prempro? anything with progesterone & estrogen outside of bc pill

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Premarin-least used: Premarin and its' companion product Prempro are the least popular among GYN MD's as it is an older product and there are many more estrogen/progesterone medications on the market that work "better". Premarin was one of the first estrogen products historically derived from equine urine (horse).
