If you are using Premarin Vaginal Cream (conjugated estrogens vaginal cream) and breastfeeding, you should know that the hormones in the cream are absorbed into the bloodstream and pass through breast milk.
Vaginal creams are applied in small amounts (0.5-1.0 g) in the vagina 2 to 3 times a week. These products, known by the brand names Premarin, Estrace, and (in Canada) Neo-Estrone, should not be used as a lubricant before intercourse since the estrogen can be absorbed through a partnerâs skin.
