Tibolone is used in hormone replacement therapy to address estrogen deficiency and related menopausal conditions. - Relief of menopausal symptoms: reduces hot flashes, night sweats, and mood disturbances. - Prevention of postmenopausal osteoporosis: improves bone mineral density and reduces fracture risk. - Treatment of estrogen deficiency: restores hormonal balance in postmenopausal women.

Tibolone may cause a range of adverse reactions, most of which are mild and reversible.

Common Side Effects: - Nausea: occasional upset stomach or feeling of queasiness. - Headache: mild to moderate tension‑type headaches. - Breast tenderness: mild discomfort or swelling of breast tissue. - Weight gain: modest increase in body weight. - Vaginal discharge: watery or mucous discharge.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Vaginal bleeding: unexpected uterine bleeding requiring medical evaluation. - Liver dysfunction: elevated liver enzymes or hepatitis. - Deep vein thrombosis: formation of blood clots in deep veins, potentially life‑threatening. - Stroke: rare cerebrovascular events. - Breast cancer: potential increased risk with long‑term use.

Before prescribing tibolone, clinicians should consider several safety aspects. - Assess cardiovascular risk: evaluate history of thromboembolic disease before initiating. - Monitor liver function: perform baseline and periodic liver enzyme tests. - Screen for hormone‑dependent cancers: avoid in women with active breast or endometrial cancer. - Consider bone health: use with calcium/vitamin D supplementation as appropriate. - Avoid use during pregnancy: contraindicated in pregnant women. - Store at ambient temperature: keep below 25 °C, protect from moisture and light in original container.

Tibolone can interact with other medicines, requiring careful management.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Combined oral contraceptives: increased risk of thromboembolism. - Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin): may reduce anticoagulant efficacy. - CYP3A4 inducers (e.g., rifampicin): may lower tibolone plasma levels.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Antidepressants (SSRIs): may diminish hot‑flash relief. - Tamoxifen: antagonistic estrogenic effect may reduce tamoxifen efficacy. - Antidiabetic agents: possible alteration of glucose control requiring monitoring.
