Tip
Apply PREMARIN Vaginal Cream at about the same time every day to help you remember to apply it regularly.
If you miss a dose of PREMARIN Vaginal Cream, use it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time to apply your next dose, skip the dose you missed and only take your next scheduled dose. Do not take two doses at the same time.
If you think you, or a person you are caring for, have taken too much PREMARIN Vaginal Cream, contact a healthcare professional, hospital emergency department, regional poison control center, or Health Canada’s toll-free number, 1-844 POISON-X (1-844-764-7669) immediately, even if there are no signs or symptoms.
Overdosage with estrogens may cause nausea and vomiting, breast discomfort, fluid retention, bloating, or vaginal bleeding in women. There is no specific antidote, and further treatment, if necessary, should be symptomatic.
Overdosage may result in a period of amenorrhea (lack of menses) of a variable length and may be followed by irregular menses for several cycles. No cases of overdosage in male patients have been reported.
PREMARIN Vaginal Cream should be stored at room temperature (15°–30°C).
