Dosing and Administration

PREMPRO therapy consists of a single tablet to be taken once daily. For treatment of moderate to severe vasomotor symptoms and/or moderate to severe symptoms of vulvar and vaginal atrophy associated with the menopause. When prescribing solely for the treatment of symptoms of vulvar and vaginal atrophy, topical vaginal products should be considered.

  • PREMPRO 0.3 mg/1.5 mg
  • PREMPRO 0.45 mg/1.5 mg
  • PREMPRO 0.625 mg/2.5 mg
  • PREMPRO 0.625 mg/5 mg
  • PREMPHASE

Patients should be treated with the lowest effective dose. Generally women should be started at 0.3 mg/1.5 mg PREMPRO daily. Subsequent dosage adjustment may be made based upon the individual patient response. In patients where bleeding or spotting remains a problem, after appropriate evaluation, consideration should be given to changing the dose level. This dose should be periodically reassessed by the healthcare provider
