Livial is the brand name for tibolone. This is a treatment for symptoms like hot flushes, mood change and vaginal dryness. It is an old type of HRT that is synthetic and mimics oestrogen and progesterone in your body. It can't be taken until it has been at least 12 months since your last period. It can be used to treat symptoms from chemical menopause caused by treatments for endometriosis, fibroids or severe PMDD, or after your ovaries have been removed. In these cases, it can be started straight away.
