Is There Any Side Effect From Withdrawal From Prempro?

I am 58 year old woman and was prescribed Prempro 2 years ago. I ran out of refills and my Dr. called out a 1 month prescription to hold me over until my yearly well woman exam on 7/15/15. I just found out that 1 box of Prempro at CVS is $115. I usually pay $68. for 3 boxes on my mail order. I cannot afford the $115. right now. My question is will it be harmful if I stop taking the Prempro until I go in for my exam?

Hi,

Prempro is a replacement post-menopause for ovarian hormones. When it is stopped, it is exactly like menopause.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
