Livial

Description

Livial is a medication containing the active ingredient Tibolone. It is used to relieve symptoms associated with hormonal deficiency in postmenopausal women, such as hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness. Tibolone works by mimicking the activity of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone in the body, helping to restore hormonal balance. This medication is suitable for women experiencing menopausal symptoms and looking for relief.
