Are there any precautions I should follow when taking conjugated estrogens?


When you buy conjugated estrogens, you will be told exactly how to take these hormonal medications. Always read the label on the package before you take conjugated hormones. The oral pills can be taken by mouth once a day, with water. If stomach upset is recurrent, one may take the pill with some food. For maximal benefit, conjugated estrogens must be taken every day at the same time. It is important not to combine conjugated estrogens with other bioidentical hormones to prevent side effects. The dose or duration of conjugated hormones should never be altered without speaking to your doctor.
