I am 81, and have been taking Premarin for over thirty years (0.45 mg) and I have no intention of stopping. However, my insurance now refuses to pay for it and wants to substitute Estradiol instead. I'm in great health, sexually active, work full time, have never experienced menopause and don't want to start at my age. My gynecologist has no problem with me continuing to take it, and says that at my age going off Premarin could cause lots of complication. While different women have different health indicators, nothing in my medical history makes Premarin a risk, but getting off of it certainly does. Where can I find a Canadian pharmacy that will fill my prescription?

Big Mountain Drugs in British Columbia is where I am getting my prescription filled. My VT PCP sent them a presctiption by fax. Very nice folks there..I got 84 .3 premarin for around $200.
Did you ever find a Canadian pharmacy where you can get the Premarin cheaper. My insurance pays a tiny amount but it costs me $160 for a 3 week supply! I cannot afford it. Why won’t insurance cover this, do you know?

I am in the same boat. I am 73 and have been taking Premarin .45 for over 20 years (after hysterectomy at 52). My GYN wanted me to stay on but there is a lot of pressure to stop taking Premarin. I am conflicted.
