Please keep this in mind when considering using the drug Premarin. There are plenty of cruelty-free approaches to Menopause, and to the drug Premarin. You simply do not have to contribute to cruelty by using Horse urine - Premarin - from Wyeth-Ayerst and others.

(List of other drugs is below.) If the only form of conjugated estrogens that the company offers is Premarin, make a formal complaint to that company and contact the health editors of your local newspapers.
