I had a complete hysterectomy at the age of 40. I was put on to premarin .625 straight away which I stayed on for approximately 8 years then at my own decision I requested to give the lower dose patches(estraderm 2mg) a try.(which I have been using for the last 6 months.)i also take caltrate (calcium) tablets which is supposed to be good to help osteoporosis. Now I am going on for 49 years and I am in a quandry as I would like to go off the patches but am in two minds whether to or not as to whether the benefits outweigh the risks. Would appreciate any comments from anyone who has been where I am.
