Hello,
The Premarin is conjugated estrogen and strictly contraindicated during pregnancy as it comes under pregnancy category IV drug. There are ample number of side effects such as:
- Nausea
- Bloating
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Skin flushing
- Hyper-pigmentation of skin
- Headache
- Vertigo
- Anxiety and tremulousness
- Others
Kindly consult your OBGYN before commencing the drug as there may be problem at chemist shop for the prescription change or else.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
