Prempro Overdose: An Overview
Prempro™ (
conjugated estrogens/medroxyprogesterone) is a prescription hormone replacement medication. It contains estrogen and progestin hormones. The effects of a Prempro overdose may vary, depending on a number of factors, such as the
Prempro dosage and whether it was taken with any other substances.
If you happen to overdose on Prempro, seek immediate medical attention.
Effects of a Prempro Overdose
Because estrogen hormones tend to be irritating to the stomach, a Prempro overdose is likely to cause nausea and vomiting. In females (even in young girls), an overdose may cause vaginal bleeding. In cases of young children inadvertently taking large doses of estrogens such as Prempro, no serious problems have been reported.
Treatment for a Prempro Overdose
It is not known how best to treat a Prempro overdose. Therefore, treatment (if necessary) will likely involve supportive care, which consists of treating the symptoms that occur as a result of the overdose. In many cases, treatment may not be necessary, although medical attention is still needed to rule out any problems.
Even though an overdose is unlikely to cause serious problems, you should still seek medical attention immediately if you believe that you or someone else may have overdosed on Prempro.
