Description:
Tibolone (Liviella) is used mainly for treatment of endometriosis, as well as hormone replacement therapy in post-menopausal women. Tibolone is a synthetic steroid hormone drug, which is fairly non-selective in its binding profile, acting as an agonist mainly at estrogen receptors, with a preference for ER alpha. Tibolone has similar or 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 a synthetic hormone-type drug which is used mainly for hormone replacement therapy in post-menopausal women. It is a synthetic steroid that has the same activity as the female sex hormones estrogen and progesterone and the androgen testosterone. Tibolone helps restore hormonal balance in the body.
When estrogen levels are low tissues can slowly degenerate, as is experienced during menopause. In addition, low levels of estrogen can cause distressing symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats, mood swings, reduced sex drive and vaginal dryness. Tibolone is broken down into three compounds which act in a similar way to the natural estrogen and progesterone found in the body. It restores plasma endorphin level in post-menopausal women and acts centrally to affect the thermo-regulatory system.
Product Advantages :
Tibolone is a synthetic molecule used extensively for the management of menopausal symptoms, with the proposed additional advantage of enhanced mood and libido. Tibolone seems to be effective on estrogen-withdrawal symptoms such as hot flushes, sweating, insomnia, headache, and vaginal dryness, with results generally comparable to the effects exerted by estrogen-based treatments, and the additional property of a progestogenic activity on the endometrium. As well as relieving vasomotor symptoms, tibolone has positive effects on sexual well-being and mood, and improves dyspareunia and libido. These effects may depend on both estrogenic and androgenic actions exerted at the genital level and in the central nervous system, and on a reduction of sex-hormone-binding globulin and an increase of free testosterone. Based on the evidence available, tibolone is a valuable treatment option to relieve menopausal complaints, especially in women suffering persistent fatigue, blunted motivation, and loss of sexual desire despite an adequate estrogen replacement.
