I'm currently waiting for my delivery of Premarin from my Canadian pharmacy, and meanwhile have had to pay another $202. for a month's supply of Premarin which my doctor prescribes, but is not covered by Express Scripts. My question today is what is the difference between Premarin and Estradiol? Premarin does not have a generic substitute so if I just switched to Estradiol, as Espress Scripts suggested, wouldn't I be taking a different formulation? To switch from Premarin to Estradiol could cause problems which I currently don't have. Express Scripts is asking me to fill out forms saying that I have tried Estradiol and had a bad reaction, before they will consider covering it If I do have a bad reaction, isn't the bad reaction caused by having to switch medications unnecessarily? At my age, 81, should I risk it?
