Kilofem is sometimes used as a second-line option, it is beneficial in preventing osteoporosis in postmenopausal women.

 

Kliofem Tablets are a continuous form of HRT they contain a form of the normal female hormones oestrogen and progestogen called estradiol and norethisterone.

Kilofem is only to be used by post-menopausal women.

They should not be used by men or children. [/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”How do Kliofem Tablets work?”][vc_column_text]

During the time of the menopause, the naturally produced levels of oestrogen in a women’s body decreases. This produces the symptoms of the menopause such as such as hot flushes, night sweats, mood swings, vaginal dryness and irregular periods.

 

Kliofem Tablets contain estradiol, a naturally occurring form of oestrogen, to top up falling levels of the hormone and relieve symptoms of menopause.

 

The tablets also contain norethisterone, a synthetic form of progesterone.

 

Estradiol (oestrogen) stimulates the growth of the womb lining, unfortunately this h has been linked to endometrial cancer, therefore it is essential to take it with norethisterone (progestogen) which opposes this effect.

 

Kliofem Tablets do not produce a monthly bleed, they are most suitable for women whose periods have completely stopped after the menopause. [/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”How to use Kliofem Tablets”][vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
