About HRT - HRT Drugs

Premarin®
Premarin® is an estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) drug manufactured by Wyeth Pharmaceuticals. Premarin® is prescribed to women to reduce common symptoms of menopause or hysterectomy such as hot flashes and vaginal dryness. As the most widely prescribed estrogen replacement drug on the market, Premarin has been available for over 50 years and is administered to nearly 10 million women.

Provera®
Provera® (medroxyprogesterone), manufactured by Pfizer, is a progesterone commonly prescribed to women for menopausal symptoms including secondary amenorrhea and abnormal uterine bleeding.

Estradiol is an estrogen replacement (ERT) drug sold under the brand names Estrace, Climara, Estraderm, Estring and Menostar.
