Question: I have had a warning letter with my livial 2.5 mg today from my chemist. have their been new developments ? on this drug ?
Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
There are no new developments with livial. The last updated information was in 2012. Your chemist was likely reminding you of possible side effects to make sure your are aware of potential complications.
These are complications that are possible but may not occur.
Livial is a synthetic or man made steroid that is used for hormone replacement.
It can relieve the symptoms associated with menopause and also reduce the chances of osteoporosis.
The potential complications that he or she may have mentioned in his letter are:
(1) increased risk of breast cancer
(2) increased risk of changes in the endometrium which is the lining of the uterus and increased risk of endometrial cancer
(3) increased risk of clot formation
(4) increased risk of stroke
As stated before some persons do not experience any of these complications but your chemist wanted to ensure that you were aware of the possibilities.
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
