LIVIAL (TIBOLONE)

Livial Description

Livial tablets contain the active ingredient Tibolone, which is a synthetic steroid medicine prescribed as hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Some postmenopausal women experience hot flushes, night sweats, and mood swings, none of which are very pleasant. Livial is an oral medication that may be prescribed to relieve these symptoms so you can enjoy this time in your life.

How Livial Works Throughout Your Body

When taken as directed, Livial mimics the activity of estrogen, progesterone, and the androgen testosterone in your body. Livial contains Tibolone which is partially activated in your gut after taking, and then released into your bloodstream. The final activation of Livial happens in your brain, bone, uterus, and other target tissues. Different tissues in your body activate Livial differently. The outcome is a reduction of hot flushes, bone loss, and vaginal dryness. Livial also protects the uterine lining which can diminish during menopause and become a cancer risk.

Conditions Treated by Livial

Livial contains a hormone which is similar to the hormone estrogen that is naturally produced by the body. When women go through menopause, levels of estrogen decrease. Estrogen levels also decrease following a hysterectomy and in women taking certain medications to treat endometriosis. This could lead to symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats and vaginal dryness. Livial helps to replace the low levels of estrogen which may help to relieve the symptoms of menopause.

Livial may also be prescribed to prevent osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. The declining level of estrogen during menopause can affect your bones, causing them to become thinner and more prone to breaking. Livial can help prevent bone loss and fractures that may occur in women in the years after menopause. Only women that are at a high risk of fractures or are unable to take medications to prevent osteoporosis should be prescribed Livial.

As a weak testosterone, Livial might boost your sexual drive and by inhibiting its own actions of a weak estrogen, women will not experience tender breasts.

Before Livial is Prescribed

It is important to provide your physician with a complete medical history and list of all medications you are currently taking or using before receiving a prescription to buy Livial to determine whether it is safe for you.

Livial Precautions

The decision to prescribe Livial should be based on an assessment of the individual patient’s overall risks and, particularly in those over 60, should include consideration of the risk of stroke. You should not change your dosage of Livial or any other meds without talking with your doctor first.
