About Kliovance

Kliovance is a continuous combined form of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) used to treat menopause and premenopause symptoms. Each tablet of Kliovance contains two active ingredients, which fundamentally mimic the two female sex hormones the female body produces naturally before menopause begins. One is a natural version of oestrogen (also known as estradiol) and a synthetic version of progestogen (norethisterone). As compared to other hormone replacement therapy (HRT) treatments, Kliovance has a relatively lower dose of oestrogen and progesterone. This means that Kliovance is suitable for women who tend to be on the sensitive side when it comes to hormones.

Usual forms of HRT contain the active ingredient oestrogen only. However, such forms of HRT can cause complications in women who still have a uterus. That is because an uncontrolled increase in oestrogen levels leads the lining of the uterus (the endometrium) to grow excessively. This excessive increase can cause cancer. In order to combat this risk, Kliovance tablets contain about 0.5mg of norethisterone acetate, a synthetic version of progesterone.

Kliovance does not indicate a regular period. Due to this, Kliovance is best suited for individuals who have already reached menopause and are experiencing physical symptoms.

Kliovance Summary Information

The information provided in the summary table is for reference only. It is important to consult a qualified healthcare professional before starting any menopause treatment, including Kliovance.

What is Kliovance used for?

The primary purpose of Kliovance is to treat the physical symptoms of menopause, such as hot flushes, vaginal dryness, and others. It is a short-term treatment intended to be used by individuals who have not yet had a hysterectomy (removal of the uterus).

Also, Kliovance acts as an alternative treatment that can help prevent osteoporosis –particularly in women who have gone through menopause. Furthermore, for those who have tried other treatments and have not achieved satisfaction through those treatments.

How does Kliovance work?

Kliovance tablets contain two active ingredients, known as oestradiol hemihydrate and norethisterone acetate. These active ingredients imitate the function of the main female sex hormones, oestrogen and progesterone. Oestradiol is a naturally occurring form of oestrogen, whereas norethisterone is a manufactured form of progesterone.

Due to menopause, women's ovaries gradually produce less and less oestrogen. As a result, the oestrogen blood levels decline rapidly. The declining levels of oestrogen can be responsible for causing uncomfortable physical symptoms, such as irregular periods, hot flushes, night sweats, mood swings, depression and vaginal dryness or itching.

Oestrogen is often given as a supplement to substitute for the declining levels in the body, which also helps decrease the intensity of the painful symptoms of menopause. Similarly, a progestogen is required as part of HRT for women who still have an intact uterus. This is because, in women without a hysterectomy, oestrogen stimulates the growth of the womb lining (endometrium), leading to endometrial cancer. A progestogen opposes the effect of oestrogen on the uterus lining, which in return, reduces the risk of cancer. This type of treatment is a combined HRT.

As mentioned, Kliovance is a continuous form of combined HRT. Each tablet contains both essential actives, so a dose of both hormones is taken daily.

How effective is Kliovance?

Since Kliovance is a type of combined HRT, the effectiveness of the medication is excellent. In addition, it is deemed very effective when treating a wide range of symptoms women experience during menopause, such as hot flushes, night sweats, insomnia, vaginal dryness, irritability, depression, and more.

What does Kliovance contain?

The active ingredients contained in Kliovance tablets are 1mg of oestradiol (as estradiol hemihydrate) and 0.5mg of norethisterone acetate.

In addition to active ingredients, Kliovance tablets contain inactive ingredients, such as lactose monohydrate, maise starch, copovidone, talc, magnesium stearate, hypromellose, as well as triacetin.

What are the benefits of taking Kliovance?

Kliovance is a treatment made to help relieve menopausal symptoms in post-menopausal women. The primary objective of Kliovance is to help achieve an average amount of oestrogen levels in the body. Kliovance helps the levels get back to a similar level to what they were before menopause. By stabilising the oestrogen levels, the intensity of hot flashes is reduced significantly. In addition to this, it helps manage and control other symptoms, such as night sweats, vaginal dryness and itching.

The treatment is a dual HRT treatment, which also consists of artificial progestogen. Due to this, Kliovance is only recommended to women who still have an intact uterus.
