Kliovance

Kliovance is a continuous form of hormonal replacement therapy (HRT). It is taken in the form of a 1mg / 500mcg tablet and can effectively relieve the symptoms of menopause. It's also used as a prophylactic treatment for osteoporosis.

As it's a combination treatment, containing both natural oestrogen and artificial progestogen, it's normally recommended to female patients who have not had a hysterectomy.

This HRT treatment's main benefit lies in the fact that it contains a natural type of oestrogen, meaning it is able to influence the body in a similar way to the type of oestrogen that was naturally produced by the body before menopause. Although menopause doesn't cause a complete lack of oestrogen, it can result in a drop in oestrogen production, leading to many uncomfortable symptoms, making women more vulnerable to conditions such as osteoporosis.

Taking Kliovance on a daily basis restores oestrogen levels, but progestogen also falls after menopause, which means that it can't regulate the womb lining like it normally would. Therefore, to reduce the risk of endometrial cancer, Kliovance has the additional ingredient of artificial progestogen.

Kliovance is a treatment designed to help provide relief from menopausal symptoms in women who are post-menopausal. Its main function is to help stabilise oestrogen levels, so that they remain at a similar level to what they were before menopause, and in this way, it doesn't just reduce the intensity of hot flushes, night sweats, or vaginal dryness and itching, but it also prevents loss of bone density, which can lead to osteoporosis.

Kliovance is known as a dual HRT treatment meaning it also contains artificial progestogen, which is why it's mainly recommended to women who still have a uterus and who haven't undergone surgical menopause.

Kliovance is currently available to buy from HealthExpress in a 1mg / 500mcg dose.

Kliovance is easy to take and only requires patients to take a single daily tablet a day to provide effective treatment.

The medication is usually provided with a day dotted pill box that makes it easier for the user to follow. There is no break between packs when using Kliovance. To avoid gastrointestinal side effects, this treatment can be taken with food.

You should only seek to buy Kliovance online if your doctor has recommended it to you. It can be taken by women over the age of 18, dealing with the symptoms of menopause. There are also a number of precautions that should be carefully considered before taking Kliovance. These may prevent the usage of this treatment and include those who:

• Have history of breast cancer, endometriosis, asthma, depression, or gallbladder disease
• Are dealing with heart disease, kidney problems, diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure, or epilepsy
• Kliovance shouldn't be used if you have recently had a stroke or heart attack
• Kliovance tablets should be avoided during pregnancy or whilst breastfeeding
• Should also be avoided if you are sensitive to the active synthetic hormones oestradiol and norethisterone

As with any prescription medication, there is a slight risk of side effects upon initial use, especially as it deals with female hormones. Potential side effects of this treatment may include:

• Nausea
• Indigestion
• Headaches
• Fluid retention
• Acne
• Backache or leg cramps.

Ideally your doctor would have prescribed the treatment best suited to you with the minimum amount of side effects, if any. If you find any of the possible side effects of this treatment bothersome, you should inform your doctor as soon as possible, as they may choose to adjust your dose or could recommend an alternative HRT medication.
