About Livial Tablet 28's

Livial Tablet 28's belongs to the class of medicines called synthetic steroids used to treat postmenopausal symptoms and prevent osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones) caused in menopausal women. Livial Tablet 28's is a hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Postmenopause is a condition in which women have not had a period of 12 months or longer. The oestrogen levels decrease in postmenopausal women resulting in symptoms such as hot flushes (hot neck, face and chest). Osteoporosis is a bone disease that weakens and thins bones by decreasing bone density which is common in post-menopausal women.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT): It is a treatment to relieve menopause symptoms. It replaces hormones that are at a lower level as you approach menopause.

Osteoporosis: It is a bone disease that weakens and thins bones by decreasing bone density. As the density of bones decreases, they weaken and are more likely to break. Post-menopausal women are more likely to develop osteoporosis than men because, at menopause, a woman’s ovaries stop producing estrogen (a female hormone) which is essential to keep bones healthy. Following menopause, bone loss occurs, making bones weak and more likely to break. Also, long-term use of steroids may affect bone strength and cause osteoporosis in both men and women. Signs and symptoms include back pain caused by a fractured or collapsed vertebra, loss of height over time, a stooped posture, and a bone that breaks much more easily than expected.
