Tibonor 

Presentation: Tibonor Tablet contains Tibolone BP and is available in a strength of 2.5 mg per tablet. It is presented as a tablet for oral administration and is usually available in blister packs.

Indications: Tibonor is indicated for the treatment of symptoms resulting from the natural or surgical menopause in postmenopausal women, such as hot flushes, sweating, vaginal dryness, and mood disorders. It is also indicated for the prevention of postmenopausal bone mineral density loss in women at high risk of future osteoporotic fractures who are intolerant of, or contraindicated for, other medicinal products approved forthis purpose.

Dosage and Administration: The recommended dose is one tablet (2.5 mg) once daily. The tablet should be swallowed with some water or other drink, preferably at the same time each day. For menopausal symptoms, improvement is generally seen within a few weeks, with optimal results after at least 3 months. Women experiencing a natural menopause should commence treatment at least 12 months after their last natural bleed. In case of surgical menopause, treatment may commence immediately. The need for continuation of treatment should be reviewed after 6 months, considering the individual's risk-benefit profile.

Side Effects: Common side effects may include vaginal bleeding or spotting (mainly during the initial months), headache, migraine, edema (swelling), dizziness, pruritus (itching), increase in body weight, nausea, abdominal pain, rash, and depression.
