Wyeth Premarin, Prempro & Premphase HRT Class Action Lawsuit Certified
By Kimberly Mirando
Â
A federal judge has certified a class action lawsuit concerning the prescription HRT medications Premarin, Prempro and Premphase – all manufactured by Wyeth. California residents who purchased the hormone replacement therapies between 1995 and 2003 have until December 19, 2012 to decide if they wish to remain in the class action lawsuit.
The Wyeth HRT class action lawsuit accuses the pharmaceutical giant of violating California laws by misrepresenting the benefits and/or failing to disclose the risks of the prescription hormone replacement therapy (HRT) medications Premarin, Prempro and Premphase.
Class Members of the Wyeth HRT class action lawsuit include all California residents who purchased the drugs in California between January 1995 and January 2003 and were exposed to oral or written statements from Wyeth or from a healthcare provider, or written statements in publications, in which it was represented that:
— Premarin, Prempro and/or Premphase lowered cardiovascular, Alzheimer’s and/or dementia risk; or
— Premarin, Prempro and/or Premphase did not increase breast cancer risk.
Class Members do not need to do anything to stay in the class action lawsuit. However, Class Members that do not want to be legally bound by what the Court does must exclude themselves from the case by December 19, 2012.
Wyeth denies it did anything wrong and the class action lawsuit is headed to trial. Oftentimes, before a class action lawsuit makes it to trial, a class action settlement may be reached.

I WAS PRESCRIBED PREMARIN FROM EARLY 90’S AS WELL AFTER HAVING A COMPLETE HYSTERECTOMY AS WELL. TOOK PREMARIN APPROIATELY 2 – 3 YEARS.
I also was prescribed premarin and my hair began to just fall out. I stopped taking it. This was around 1993. I would love to be included.
I took prempo and premarin during Jan/1995 thru Jan/2007
I started taking Premarin on Oct. 27, 1985 and stopped in 2018 and started using the patch.
I took premarin from 10-27-1985 after a hysterectomy. I stopped in 2018 and started using a patch and still use a patch (6-10-20). I was never told of possible side effects like breast cancer.
I was given Premarin in the 80’s for hormone therapy. When I reached the age of 70 I was told that I did not have to have any more monograms. This was the case then. Then when I reached 78 I had breast cancer. The diagnosed explanation was because of the Premarin I took during my change of life. No breast cancer, no cancer ever in my family. Why cannot I be in this class action suite. There are many, many more in this same situation. I have three + years still to go.
My mom took this hormone therapy and in 2002 was diagnosed with having stage 4 breast cancer.
I also took Prempro for over 25 years and now have breast cancer. No breast cancer in family and never warned of cancer caused by Prempro.
Took Prempro over 25 years….now have breast cancer.
I took Prempro (Prescription HRT medication) for nearly 2 years and was diagnosed with an aggressive type of breast cancer on 12/2016. I’m currently receiving Chemo. There is no history of breast cancer in my family and my doctor tells me it might have been caused by this medication.
