Abstract

Objective: The effects of tibolone on climacteric symptoms, osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, breasts and the endometrium are summarised, and its role in clinical practice is reviewed in this article. Background: Tibolone has tissue-specific effects on receptors and enzymes that influence the synthesis and metabolism of endogenous sexual steroid hormones. Methods: This evaluation was based on the findings from several randomised studies, which addressed the basic and clinical research on tibolone. Results/conclusion: Clinical trials prove that tibolone is effective in the treatment of the menopausal symptoms and for the postponement and calming of symptoms accompanying age-related diseases. The findings of basic researchers that tibolone affects the metabolism of every cell, including malignant cells, opened a door to a whole new domain of research that has a promising future.
