How PREMARIN Vaginal Cream Works
- PREMARIN Vaginal Cream works to treat vaginal discomfort and painful sex by delivering a blend of estrogens directly to the tissues in and around your vagina.
- PREMARIN Vaginal Cream doesn't mask symptoms for temporary relief. PREMARIN Vaginal Cream addresses the cause of vaginal dryness and painful sex at its source — treating the estrogen loss that causes this common menopausal symptom. Apply PREMARIN Vaginal Cream as directed by your health care professional.
- PREMARIN Vaginal Cream can reverse vaginal thinning and dryness and restore vaginal tissue — tissue that provides elasticity and lubrication. And with continued use, you can maintain this reversal.
