About Kliofem

Kliofem tablets contains two active ingredients, estradiol, a natural version of oestrogen and norethisterone, a synthetic progestogen. It is classed as a HRT (hormone replacement therapy), used to treat women after menopause to replace oestrogen no longer made by the body. Menopausal symptoms include:

  • Osteoporosis
  • Hot flushes, night sweats
  • Depression, mood swings
  • Sleep problems
  • Vaginal dryness

Kliofem is a continuous combined HRT treatment used in postmenopausal women who have not had a hysterectomy. If only oestrogen levels are increased during HRT treatment, the endometrium will grow excessively, causing an increased risk of endometrial cancer. Women who have not had a hysterectomy are therefore given HRT that contains progestogen.

NowPatient offers Kliofem tablets as a treatment for HRT only, following an online consultation with a prescribing clinician.
