What is a Generic Drug?
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.

Description
What is Livial used for?
Livial (Tibolone)
Livial (Tibolone) is a medication used for hormone replacement therapy. Livial is used to treat symptoms of menopause. Livial does not contain the actual hormone but rather contains a substance that breaks down in your body to produce the hormone. Livial relieves the symptoms of oestrogen deficiency and prevents osteoporosis in women who have gone through the menopause and are at high risk of fractures but cannot take other medicines used to prevent osteoporosis. Livial contains tibolone, a substance that has favourable effects on different tissues in the body, such as brain, vagina, and bone. Livial is used in postmenopausal women at least 12 months after their last natural period.
The medicine is available in Livial 2.5 mg tablets, and you can purchase it from Canada Pharmacy.
Directions
Take one 2.5 mg tablet every day at the same time each day. Livial tablets can be taken either with or without food. Swallow it with a drink. Never change the duration of the dosage or the amount of the dosage without consulting your physician.
Ingredients
The active ingredient includes Tibolone for HRT.
The other ingredients are potato starch, lactose monohydrate, ascorbyl palmitate, and magnesium stearate.
Cautions
Before starting Livial, it is very important that you tell your doctor about any other health conditions you may have and any other medications you may be on (including prescription, non-prescription, and herbal products). Women taking Livial should have regular medical and gynaecological check-ups. Your need for continued tibolone HRT should be reviewed with your doctor at least once a year. Women with a history of breast cancer in the family should take caution.
Never take Livial during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Livial should be prescribed at the lowest effective dose and for the shortest duration necessary. Your physician will advise you on that. In case of serious side effects, allergic reactions, or an overdose, consult your doctor immediately.
