Livial

Women experience different symptoms of menopause, such as the face, neck, and chest hot flashes, irregular menstrual cycle, night sweats, weight gain, hair thinning and mood changes. Although you may not experience these side effects all at once, it can still be quite bothersome, and disrupt your daily life.

If you want to treat or manage these menopausal symptoms, you can take Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) medications to help replenish your natural hormone levels. Livial is an HRT medicine that contains an active ingredient tibolone. Your body will break it down to create oestrogen, progesterone, and androgen. Doing so ensures you don’t experience any of the uncomfortable and sometimes painful symptoms.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Livial? 

Livial is a Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) medicine that contains an active ingredient tibolone. Tibolone is a tibolone that acts like oestrogen, progesterone, and androgen receptors’ agonist. It used to treat menopausal symptoms in women who have not had their period for at least 12 months.

How does Livial work? 

The active ingredient of Livial is not limited to one hormone; your body breaks down the ingredient to create the hormones (oestrogen and progestogen) themselves. With this ingredient, it helps restore the hormone levels to normal since the body’s production of hormones, especially oestrogen, drops during menopause.Ā 

Once the body completes the process of breaking down the tibolone into hormones, it prevents or manages menopausal symptoms, such as the face, neck, and chest hot flashes, irregular menstrual cycle, night sweats, weight gain, hair thinning, and mood changes.

Benefits of taking Livial Tablets

As your oestrogen levels drop during menopause, you may experience symptoms that can disrupt your daily routines, such as flashes in the face, neck, and chest, irregular menstrual cycle, night sweats, weight gain, thinning of hair, and mood changes. But when you take HRT treatment, like Livial, your hormone levels go back to its normal balance; thus, treating or minimising the effects of menopause.

How to use Livial? 

Like any prescription-only medicine, Livial should be taken as prescribed by your doctor. You should follow the dose and schedule as per your doctor’s instruction to ensure your symptoms are treated properly, and medical complications can be avoided. You can also refer to the directions provided in the enclosed patient information leaflet.

If it has not been 12 months since your last natural period, you can start taking Livial immediately. However, if you are changing over from a period of being HRT-free, have never used HRT in the past, you used HRT for hysterectomy treatment, or if you are under any treatment for endometriosis, you should start taking Livial when your next period ends.Ā 

As mentioned, your doctor will prescribe the lowest dose possible to manage your symptoms. The recommended dose is one tablet taken at approximately the same time every day. Take the tablet out of the foil and swallow it whole with water; do not chew the tablet.Ā 

You should take the tablet with the label that corresponds to the day of the week you’re taking starting the treatment. So, if you’re starting the treatment on Tuesday, take the pill under the Tuesday label. Then, follow the direction of the arrow as you continue with the treatment and until you finish your pack. After the first pack, continue with the next one on the next day without skipping any days.

If you forget to take your pill on your usual schedule, take it as soon as you remember. However, if more than 12 have lapsed, you should skip the missed pill and take your next one following your usual schedule. Also, if you are going to take any lab tests or undergo any surgery, you should stop taking Livial for four (4) to six (6) weeks before the surgery and inform your doctor that you are using it as HRT treatment.
