For those who aren't quite sure what Livial is, check out this article from the University of Florida quoting the New England Journal of Medicine study .... Livial® (tibolone), an agent used to reduce menopausal symptoms as well as bone loss, significantly reduces the risk of breast cancer and prevents bone loss and fractures; however, it doubles the risk of stroke among postmenopausal women. These results were recently published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
Historically, women have often been treated with hormone-replacement therapy (HRT) in order to reduce menopausal symptoms. However, research has emerged indicating that HRT is associated with an increased risk of breast cancer. Since these studies have been published, the use of HRT has decreased dramatically.
Livial is an agent that is approved in 45 countries to relieve menopausal symptoms and in 90 countries to prevent bone loss. It contains properties that mimic both female and male hormones.
