Overview
Tibolon is the only therapeutic approach to climacteric symptoms, prevention of osteoporosis and urogenital atrophy with the same efficacy as hormone replacement therapy. Tibolon has more positive effects on sexuality and mood changes in menopausal women. It decreases the mammographic density. Its safety for breast cancer is the same as for only estrogen therapy and better than for estrogen-gestagen therapy. Tibolon is the first choice for postmenopausal women with mood and sexuality disorders, women with mastodynia and high mammographic density.
