Climax sooner or later occurs in every woman in adulthood. Its manifestations noticeably worsen the quality of life, so it is important to consult a gynecologist in time to prescribe medications that alleviate unpleasant symptoms. One of these medications is "Climaxan", which is considered an anti-climacteric drug with a calming and estrogen-like effect. The medicine quickly and effectively removes painful sensations in women and is often prescribed as a therapy that eliminates the symptoms that appear due to the cessation of menstruation.
There are also analogues of Klimaksan on the pharmaceutical market, which are popular and almost identical in composition. Next, we consider the features of the original and its possible substitutes and determine the scope of each of them, find out the differences between them.
Drug Features
The multiple functions of the body are affected by Climaxan. Its use is justified for eliminating both psychoemotional disorders and for alleviating neurovegetative symptoms. When using the drug, women note that:
- pass apathy;
- insomnia does not bother;
- excruciating hot flashes and excessive sweating disappear;
- often dizzy;
- no attacks of increased palpitations;
- increased excitability is less and less manifested.
These and other similar symptoms occur during menopause and are associated with a sharp drop in the level of estrogen produced by the ovaries. The original drug and the analogue of Klimaksan are designed to deal with these unpleasant phenomena, according to doctors and patients, they successfully cope with this.
Drug Release Form
The original tool at the moment can be purchased only in two dosage forms:
The drug belongs to the category of homeopathic.
Climaxan tablets must be dissolved. Each pill resembles a flattened cylinder on both sides, painted white. You can buy a package that contains: 20, 30, 40 or 50 tablets.
Granules must also be resorbed. They are small, have a rounded shape and are available in packages containing 10 g of ready-made pills. They have no specific odor.
Active components
The drug "Klimaksan" composition is complex, it successfully combines plant and homeopathic components.
- Klopogon (Tsimitsifuga) - 200.
- Apis - C200.
- Lachezis - C50.
Auxiliary substances are also present, which sometimes should be taken into account due to possible individual sensitivity.
The following are added to the tablets:
- microcrystalline cellulose;
- lactose;
- magnesium stearate.
Granules have a less expanded composition, as an additional ingredient contains only sugar.
Sometimes patients are interested in what the letters and numbers mean next to the specified component. They show the concentration at which the component is introduced into a given release form. The main principle of homeopathy is the use of various medicinal components that have certain properties in fairly low quantities. The required concentration can only be determined using a special spectral analysis. However, it is not possible to know the scanty concentration to exact values, therefore, experts prefer to use the principle of dilution to indicate the amount of active substance.
What effect is expected after taking the drug
Active homeopathic substances also determine the effect of the drug Climaxan. The use and reviews of it are a direct confirmation of this, the medicine gives a tangible effect, because the composition of the drug is highly effective and rapidly absorbed into the blood. The therapeutic function is completely determined by the properties of the substances that make up the drug.
Tsimitsifugi root
The plant has numerous healing properties. So, with its help it is possible to achieve a decrease in the frequency and strength of the tides, to relieve heat attacks. The action takes place due to biologically active substances present in the plant’s rhizome.
Even in ancient times, women used the tsimitsifugi root to alleviate the condition during menopause. Also, the substance is successfully used to treat malfunctions in the menstrual cycle, because it has:
- relaxing;
- estrogen-like;
- antispasmodic action.
The estrogen-like effect is the action of the active substances of the root, working on the principle of hormones that are produced by the ovaries of a healthy woman.
The advantages of a homeopathic remedy
Homeopathic tablets "Climaxan" and analogues with a similar effect can have a beneficial effect on a woman's body without causing damage to her health in general. It is known that in the period before the onset of menopause and with its onset, the level of estrogen produced by the ovaries sharply decreases. That is why the patient begins to appear all the unpleasant symptoms associated with the lack of such an important female hormone. The tsimitsifugi root used in the drug in question is able to mimic the effects of estrogen on the body and thereby alleviate unpleasant symptoms.
Of course, you can use natural hormones, which are often prescribed as replacement therapy by practitioners. However, in contrast to them, the drug Klimaksan based on the root of cimicifuga does not provoke breast cancer and does not increase the risk of developing cardiovascular pathologies. Therefore, such treatment is suitable for a wider range of patients.
Lachesis, or snake venom
This substance is included in the composition of a homeopathic medicine. It relieves palpitations and relieves signs of insomnia. The component is extracted from the venom of a real viper, Surukuku, which lives on the lands of Brazil. The ingredient has a beneficial effect on the entire cardiovascular system, therefore, in patients:
- flushing of heat and excessive sweating are reduced;
- sleep normalizes;
- pass dizziness;
- headaches subside.
Of course, this component is contained in scanty amounts in the composition of the drug, so there is no reason to worry about the occurrence of side effects.
Apis Bee Venom
Climaxan with menopause has long been used by a wide range of consumers due to its unique composition. The apis included in it helps to save the patient from:
- apathy;
- mood swings;
- irritability;
- nervousness
- depression.
Get the substance from the real poison of honey bees. It has a pronounced anti-inflammatory effect, has a decongestant and analgesic effect.
Drug properties
Climaxan tablets receive reviews only of a positive nature, and this is well deserved. Due to its composition, the drug is safe, but very effective. The practice of use shows that the tool quickly eliminates the main symptoms of menopausal syndrome. Each component that is part of the drug has a pronounced therapeutic effect, affecting the necessary organs and systems. As a result, the medication has a calming and estrogen-like pharmacological effect.
Scientific evidence
Often, patients do not trust homeopathic remedies, because the active substances are included in the composition in a scanty concentration. Because of this, some believe that such drugs can not bring any significant therapeutic effect. However, chemical experiments and various studies were carried out. During them, the severity of the action of each substance was measured, but in different concentrations. For experiments, solutions were used, which are often used for the manufacture of homeopathic preparations. The experiments began with a low concentration on the biological object and ended with a sufficiently large one.
The results showed that the most powerful effect can be achieved only using a solution with the lowest concentration of the active component. The same effect is achieved when exposed to a biological object with a solution with a very high concentration of substances. Therefore, it was concluded that drugs are effective if they contain either a low amount of active substances (homeopathic) or very high.
Of course, traditional medicine does not recognize Climaxan tablets and analogues with official drugs. However, more and more doctors began to use such drugs as symptomatic therapy. Reviews of patients allow us to conclude that such treatment gives its results and has a beneficial effect on the body. In women, painful sensations disappear and the quality of life improves significantly.

"Climaxan": instructions for use
Granules and tablets have a similar therapeutic effect. Therefore, to alleviate the condition of the patient, you can choose the form of the drug that is available or suits the woman for personal reasons.
But it should be borne in mind that Klimaksan tablets (indicated in the instructions) contain lactose. Therefore, for those patients who have a history of lactase deficiency, malabsorption syndrome or congenital galactosemia, a similar form of the drug is not prescribed. Such patients are shown capsules.
How to take pills
The instructions for use of Klimaksan (tablets) contain the following information:
- For a single dose, a whole pill is intended.
- It must be kept in the mouth until completely dissolved.
- It is forbidden to swallow or chew, otherwise all the useful properties of the drug are lost.
- You need to take one tablet in the morning, another in the evening.
- It is necessary to take pills 15 minutes before a meal.
- You can not combine food and tablets.
To use "Klimaksan" it is necessary to take one pill twice a day. However, if after two weeks of treatment the unpleasant symptoms continue to bother the patient, then the frequency of administration is increased to 3-4 times.
The therapeutic course usually lasts about six months. After six months of continuous use of the drug, it is necessary to stop its use. Doctors warn that during treatment it is important to visit a gynecologist at least once every two months to notice changes and adjust possible treatment.
The preparation "Klimaksan" detailed instructions attached, so that the woman figured out how to take it. So, if unpleasant symptoms after the treatment began to gradually return, then an additional course of therapy can be carried out. However, it is necessary to observe breaks between them for at least two months.
Capsule use
Often women choose Climaxan capsules. Instructions and reviews on this form of the drug are slightly different. So, many people are more accustomed to using capsules, but not everyone is happy with the dosage regimen. They also need to be absorbed in the morning and evening, but at the same time five pills are required at a time. Do not swallow, chew or drink them.
If you combine the intake of capsules with the use of food, then the therapeutic effect may be completely lost. Granules are better to dissolve 15 minutes before or 2 hours after a meal.
If there is no improvement after two weeks during treatment, then the frequency of administration can also be increased up to 3-4 times. In this case, do not exceed the dosage of 5 capsules at a time.
The duration of the course in the treatment of capsules is slightly different. Usually, therapy lasts no more than 2 months, after which you must definitely take a break. If symptoms continue to bother, then after 2-3 weeks you can repeat the treatment course.
Analogs of the drug "Climaxan"
The drug in question has both analogues and synonyms. The latter include: "Qi-Klim" and "Klimadion", which also contain the root of tsimitsifugi. Analogues are medicines that have a completely different composition, but they have the same anti-climacteric effect.
Analogs of the drug "Climaxan":
- "Gormopleks", dragee;
- "Artemis" capsules;
- "Gormel SN", drops;
- "Individual" tablets;
- Klimakt Hel, lozenges;
- "Inoclim" capsules;
- Klimara, transdermal patch;
- "Kliofit", elixir;
- Krainon gel;
- "Microfollin" tablets.
All of these funds have a similar therapeutic effect, but not all of them are equally effective.
Which is better - "Klimaksin" or "Qi-Klim"? Understand the differences
The Klimaksan analogue should also consist of plant components and have a similar therapeutic effect. Qi-Klim is in many ways similar to the original and is quite in demand among women, mainly due to advertising.
As an active component in both drugs, the root of tsimitsifugi acts, which has the necessary therapeutic effect. If you compare the entire composition, then the drugs are identical. So what to choose to alleviate the symptoms of menopause?
In this case, only the doctor can evaluate all the symptoms and take a deeper look at the situation. So, if the problem is acute, then it is better to prefer "Qi-Klim", because the concentration of active substances in it is slightly higher. The original also contains the root of tsimitsifugi a little less.
If we consider both drugs for medical purposes, then “Chi-Klim” can be attributed to biologically active additives, and “Climaxan” belongs to homeopathic remedies.
"Climaxan" reviews of women and doctors has the same as its counterpart, and these ratings are positive. Therefore, when choosing a drug, you can rely on personal preferences, cost and availability in pharmacies.
Reviews of patients about Klimaksan
Often, patients using the drug leave only positive reviews about it. This is due to the convenience of its use, sufficient efficiency and quite affordable cost. Women who decided to try this drug to eliminate the symptoms of menopause claim that it:
- significantly improved their quality of life;
- allowed to return to work and live a full sexual life;
- allows you to get enough sleep, relieving insomnia;
- relieves hot flashes, heat and sweating.
In this case, the drug acts quickly enough. Some note that the effect is noticeable literally after taking the first pill. It took others 1-2 weeks to experience positive changes in their health.
Many patients consider the advantage of the remedy to be the long-term therapeutic effect, ease of use, low price and naturalness of the composition, which allows taking pills practically without consequences.
Negative opinion
However, it also does not do without negative reviews. Allocate women and cons of pills. Some note that a medicine is not always able to completely relieve hot flashes. Others complain that not all pharmacies have a department of homeopathy, so sometimes there are difficulties with its acquisition.
Of course, these shortcomings cannot serve as a reason for refusing treatment, because there are undoubtedly more significant advantages of the drug. No wonder women more and more leave positive feedback, although there are also negative assessments.
Often a negative opinion is based on poor performance in each individual case. So, for some women, the drug did not help completely get rid of the unpleasant symptoms of menopause. Also, their quality of life has not improved significantly, so patients are somewhat disappointed in the treatment and leave negative reviews about the drug.
The opinion of practitioners
Doctors are ambivalent about homeopathy and conditionally divided into two camps. Some believe that Klimaksan has no effect on the body at all, so they do not prescribe it to their patients. They are of the opinion that the effectiveness of this kind of medicine has not been proven as a result of studies conducted according to all international standards. Such doctors are adherents of traditional treatment. Therefore, they consider any tool that is not officially recognized to be useless and not trustworthy.
Other doctors use homeopathic medicines in their practice and at the same time see the result. They evaluate all means only by their effectiveness and effect on the body, conducting constant monitoring of women who use Climaxan. Therefore, if this drug helps to relieve the patient from painful symptoms and at the same time does not cause persistent side effects, then they consider his appointment justified and appropriate.
