Relevant Information
Premarin 0.625mg Tablet is a systemic (oral) form of hormone replacement therapy and works throughout the body, which is different from Premarin 0.625% Vaginal Cream, a local estrogen treatment applied directly to the vagina mainly for vaginal dryness and atrophy with less systemic absorption. Your doctor will help decide which form and strength of estrogen therapy suits your symptoms, and HRT is generally reviewed regularly to use the lowest effective dose for the shortest time needed.

Within Malaysia, standard delivery takes 3 to 5 working days. Same-day delivery is available in the Klang Valley for orders placed before 12pm; orders placed after 12pm arrive by the end of the next day.
Orders to Singapore are sent as international deliveries and take 5 to 9 working days. A lump-sum shipping and handling fee applies to every overseas delivery and is shown at checkout.
Customers in Malaysia can pay by FPX online banking, credit or debit card (Visa and Mastercard), and supported e-wallets including Touch ‘n Go eWallet, GrabPay and ShopeePay.
