Kliofem Medical Information
Kliofem® is a continuous combined Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) which is taken every day without interruption.
The tablets contain 2 hormones: estradiol 2 mg (an oestrogen identical to the one made in the ovaries) and norethisterone acetate 1 mg (a progestagen that acts in a similar way to the body’s own hormone progesterone).
Kliofem® is used for:
Relief of symptoms occurring after menopause
During the menopause, the amount of the oestrogen produced by a woman’s body drops. This can cause symptoms such as hot face, neck and chest (‘hot flushes’). Kliofem® alleviates these symptoms after menopause. You will only be prescribed Kliofem® if your symptoms seriously hinder your daily life.
Prevention of osteoporosis
After the menopause some women may develop fragile bones (osteoporosis). You should discuss all available options with your doctor. If you are at an increased risk of fractures due to osteoporosis and other medicines are not suitable for you, you can use Kliofem® to prevent osteoporosis after menopause. Kliofem® is prescribed for women who have not had their womb removed, and whose periods stopped more than a year ago.
The experience of treating women older than 65 years is limited.
Take one tablet once a day, at about the same time each day.
Take the tablet with a glass of water.
Take a tablet every day without stopping. After you have used all 28 tablets in a calendar pack, go straight to using the next pack.
For further information on the use of the calendar pack, see USER INSTRUCTIONS at the end of the package leaflet. You may start treatment with Kliofem® on any convenient day. However, if you are switching from an HRT product when you have monthly bleeding, start your treatment straight after the bleeding has ended.
