Kliofem

Kliofem is a continuous combined Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) which is used on a daily basis. Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a treatment used in women, to relieve menopause-related symptoms. It works by replacing the decreased levels of hormones which occurs as you approach menopause. Kliofem is a combined continuous sequential HRT product - this means that the oestrogen is dosed continuously, with the progestogen being added for a proportion of each 28-day cycle, in a sequential manner. It is used in postmenopausal women with at least 1 year since their last natural period. The progestagen in Kliofem can also protect you from the risk of excessive thickening of the womb lining, and endometrial cancer when taking an oestrogen.
