"I’ve Switched" Campaign Hundreds of women have contacted UAN to let us know they’ve made the commitment to avoid Premarin or other horse urine-based drugs. One woman in Los Gatos, California not only asked her doctor to switch to a plant-based product but insisted her doctor post one of UAN's Journal articles on his bulletin board.
If you've switched from Premarin, or vowed not to take it, let us know and we will send you an "I've Switched" pin to wear with pride. Submit “I’ve switched” information by e-mail.
"I would NEVER take Premarin and I do everything within my power to educate all women about this drug … I think it is best to just let nature take it's course." "When I found out where Premarin came from, I immediately knew it wasn't for me!!" "I switched when I found out exactly what Premarin stood for and I have spread the word to everyone I know. Why would anyone contribute to this legacy of cruelty?" "When I had a complete hysterectomy in 2001, I told my doctor I would not take any hormones containing horse urine. I learned about the horses from your publications. Thank you!!!!" "One more person has switched - me! I sent your article to my doctor." "I requested a substitute from my doctor. He said I was the first patient who had requested something different.All this cruelty is being done to horses because women are uninformed." "Here’s hoping the word gets out to the millions that have been on Premarin and have no way of knowing how it is produced. Let’s get the word out, ladies, and stop the cruelty." "As soon as I learned about Premarin, I switched to Estradiol." |

Another let us know that she got the okay to switch from Premarin to a cruelty-free hormone therapy drug, but her insurance company would not fund the prescription. Did this stop her? No. She wrote her insurance company and they backed down. Now her hormone therapy is cheaper and more humane.
