Message: | Tibolone is a synthetic estrogen-like steroid hormone which acts as an agonist of multiple type I steroid receptors,and it has weak estrogenic and progestational activities as some androgenic properties.It is a female sex hormone, sometimes known as a hormone replacement therapy.It is broken down in the body to make hormones and has an effect similar to combined HRT.Livial is used mainly for treatment of endometriosis, as well as hormone replacement therapy in post-menopausal women. Tibolones Acetate is a synthetic steroid hormone drug, it has greater efficacy compared to older hormone replacement drugs, but shares a similar side effect profile. It has also been investigated as a possible treatment for female sexual dysfunction.
Tibolone is suitable for women who have not experienced a natural period for at least 1 year. If taken sooner, irregular bleeding may be experienced.Usually a woman using cyclical HT and experiencing a monthly bleed can start Tibolone Acetate after the oestrogen/progesterone phase of her current HT.Postmenopausal women not currently taking HT, or who have had a hysterectomy, may start at any time.A woman taking HT that contains the same amount of oestrogen and progestogen every day of the month can change to Tibolone Acetate at any time.
