As a horse rescue advocate, let me say a few words about Premarin. Without getting too graphic, this drug is responsible for the death of some 75,000 colts every year. The industry which makes this drug is responsible for some of the worst abuse ever done to a horse. Premarin is the name for PRegnant MAre urINe. That is all it is. Smash one and smell it. Horse piss. No extra secret medication. Pregnant mares stand in very small quarters throughout their pregnancy with hoses attached to collect their urine. They are given very little water, thus producing a stronger product. (BTW, a horse stays pregnant for 11 months.) The foals are sold for slaughter so some folks in other countries can have horse steaks. Don't believe me? Go to: http://www.allrealgood.com/equineadvocates/premarin.html There are a number of synthetic drugs that are just as good if not better than Premarin, and they don't kill horses. Please, if your doctor has you on this drug, tell him to change it - NOW!
