Tibolone tablet What kind of medication is this? Tibolone tablets 2.5mg are a kind of hormone replacement treatment (HRT) that are taken to alleviate the symptoms of menopause.

Tablets of tibolone are also taken to assist prevent bone loss in postmenopausal women, often known as osteoporosis, and to lower the risk of fracture. Only postmenopausal women older than 60 years old who are unable to take other HRT medications for the treatment of oestrogen deficiency or other medications for the prevention of bone mineral density loss should take tibolone tablets. This is the only population for which these tablets are intended. How exactly does Tibolone function?
