Yeast infection from Premarin
sincerely2 Apr 05, 2013
If the premarin cream causes a yeast infection should I stop useing it (the premarin cream) or keep useing it. I read somewhere that you should continue useing it to get rid of the yeast infection. I am a bit confused. Answer Question

Hi there! Though the use of premarin cream has been linked to yeast infections it does not ‘cause’ the infection/ discontinuing the medication does not lead to any improvement in the situation and hence discontinuation is not recommended unless specified. It is best advised to consult a doctor for appropriate evaluation and management of the condition. Hope the information is helpful. Take care! Comment

Hello,
Premarin may cause worsening of the yeast infection and not cause it. Hence you should discontinue taking it only after your doctor’s advice.
