About Livial Tablet

Livial Tablet belongs to the class of medicines called synthetic steroids used to treat postmenopausal symptoms and prevent osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones) caused in menopausal women. Livial Tablet is a hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Postmenopause is a condition in which women have not had a period of 12 months or longer. The oestrogen levels decrease in postmenopausal women resulting in symptoms such as hot flushes (hot neck, face and chest). Osteoporosis is a bone disease that weakens and thins bones by decreasing bone density which is common in post-menopausal women.

Livial Tablet contains Tibolone which works by mimicking the activity of natural hormones progesterone, oestrogen and testosterone. Thereby, it reduces menopausal symptoms by restoring hormone levels in the body. Also, Livial Tablet prevents osteoporosis in postmenopausal women by restoring oestrogen levels in the body and preventing bone loss and fractures.
