Kliovance

Description

Kliovance is a medication that combines estradiol and norethisterone to help relieve symptoms of menopause such as hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness. Estradiol is a form of estrogen that helps replace the hormone that your body no longer produces in sufficient amounts during menopause. Norethisterone is a progestogen that works alongside estradiol to provide hormone replacement therapy. Kliovance is suitable for women experiencing menopausal symptoms and looking for relief.

Dosage and usage

If you forget to take a tablet, take it as soon as you remember and continue as usual. If you are more than 12 hours late, skip the missed dose. The effects of Kliovance last throughout the 28-day cycle. If you experience any unusual symptoms or side effects, contact your healthcare provider.
