What does it do?

Tibolone is a synthetic steroid that acts similarly to female hormones. It is mainly used to alleviate symptoms caused by hormonal deficiency in menopausal women and to prevent osteoporosis. It has the characteristic of performing the roles of both follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone simultaneously.

Tibolone acts by being converted into metabolites similar to estrogen, progesterone, and androgen in the body. This helps to improve the state of hormonal deficiency due to menopause and helps maintain the health of the endometrium and bones.
