About This Medication

# Pfizer Patient Assistance Program Patient Guide: How to Get Premarin Vaginal Cream at Low or No Cost Premarin Vaginal Cream (conjugated estrogens) is a prescription hormone therapy used to treat symptoms of menopause, such as vaginal dryness, itching, and pain during intercourse. The **Pfizer Patient Assistance Program (PAP)** offers eligible patients free medication if you meet income, insurance, and other criteria. This guide explains everything you need to know to apply and get support. ## About Premarin Vaginal Cream **Premarin Vaginal Cream** contains conjugated estrogens, a form of hormone replacement therapy derived from natural sources. It is applied directly to the vagina to relieve **menopausal symptoms** like atrophy (thinning and inflammation of vaginal tissues), which can cause discomfort, urinary issues, or painful sex. Doctors prescribe it for short-term use, typically after other treatments fail. Always follow your doctor's instructions, as it carries risks like blood clots or breast cancer with long-term use.
