Premarin Side Effects

See Estrogen and Cancer first. Additionally estrogens can cause the following:

• nausea and Vomiting: the most common side effect of estrogen therapy is nausea. Vomiting is less common.
• effects on breasts: estrogens may cause breast tenderness or enlargement and may cause the breasts to secrete a liquid. These effects are not dangerous .
• effects on the uterus: Estrogens may cause benign fibroid tumors of the uterus to get larger.
• effects on the liver: Women taking oral contraceptives develop, on rare occasions, a tumor of the liver which can rupture and bleed into the abdomen and may cause death. So far, these tumors have not been reported in women using estrogens in the menopause, but you should report any swelling or unusual pain or tenderness in the abdomen to your doctor immediately. Women with a past history of jaundice (yellowing of the skin and white parts of the eyes) may get jaundice again during estrogen use. If this occurs, stop taking estrogens and see your doctor.
• other effects: Estrogens may cause excess fluid to be retained in the body. This may cause some conditions to worsen. These include:
• asthma
• epilepsy
• migraine
• heart disease
• kidney disease
