Tibolone, sold under the brand name Livial among others, is a medication which is used in menopausal hormone therapy and in the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis and endometriosis.[1][9][10][11] The medication is available alone and is not formulated or used in combination with other medications.[12] It is taken by mouth.[1]

Side effects of tibolone include acne and increased hair growth among others.[8] Tibolone is a synthetic steroid with weak estrogenic, progestogenic, and androgenic activity, and hence is an agonist of the estrogen, progesterone, and androgen receptors.[13][1][8][6] It is a prodrug of several metabolites.[1][13][14] The estrogenic effects of tibolone may show tissue selectivity in their distribution.[13][15][14][16]

Tibolone was developed in the 1960s and was introduced for medical use in 1988.[17][18] It is marketed widely throughout the world.[12][19] The medication is not available in the United States.[12][19]
