Product description

Espa-tibol tablets are used to treat symptoms of estrogen deficiency in postmenopausal women if menopause has occurred more than 1 year ago.

The decision to prescribe tibolone should be based on an assessment of individual risk factors; when prescribing to patients over the age of 60, the risk of stroke should be taken into account.

Compound

The active substance is tibolone (one tablet contains tibolone 2.5 mg).

Excipients: potato starch, magnesium stearate, ascorbyl palmitate, lactose monohydrate.

Contraindications

hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients;
pregnancy and lactation period;
suspicion of breast cancer, its current or history (the preparation increased the risk of recurrence of breast cancer in a placebo-controlled study);
suspected or existing estrogen-dependent tumors (eg endometrial cancer);
vaginal bleeding of unknown etiology;
untreated endometrial hyperplasia;
venous thromboembolism in history or at present (deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism);
history of arterial thromboembolic diseases (for example, angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, stroke, or transient ischemic cerebrovascular accident);

Mode of application

The recommended dose is one tablet per day. There is no need for dose adjustment for elderly patients. Take the tablets with a small amount of water or other drinks, preferably at the same time of day. To initiate and continue treatment for postmenopausal symptoms, the lowest effective dose should be used for the shortest period of time. When treating with Espatibol, progestogens should not be used separately.

The beginning of the use of the preparation "Espatibol". Women with natural menopause are advised to start treatment with Espatibol no earlier than 12 months after the last natural bleeding. In the case of menopause that occurred after surgery, treatment with Espatibol can be started immediately.

Before you start taking Espatibol, the cause of any irregular / unscheduled vaginal bleeding, including when using hormone replacement therapy (HRT), must be determined to exclude a malignant neoplasm.
