For some, this period passes quietly, someone feels uncomfortable manifestations during menopause. To facilitate the lives of women, foreign and Russian experts have developed anti-menopause drugs. One of the leading drugs in this group is Klimadinon. Instructions for use and its features are presented below.

The drug "Klimadinon" is produced in the following forms:

According to the instructions for use, the Klimadinon tablet contains the active substance: rhizome rhizomes (Cimicifuga racemosa L.), 20 mg - dry extract, in which 17.2 mg of lactose monohydrate, 2.8 mg of native extract of cimicifuga rhizomes.

What does the instruction for the use of Klimadinon drops indicate? One hundred milliliters of drops for internal use contains 12 mg of the active substance (tsimitsifugi rhizomes (Cimicifuga rhizome) liquid extract), which is equal to the content of dried medicinal plant materials — 2.4 mg). The auxiliary components are: 2H2O sodium saccharin, peppermint oil, 96% rpm ethanol, purified water. The ethanol content in the preparation is from 35 to 40% of revolutions.
Indications for use
As indicated by the instructions for use, "Klimadinon" is prescribed for disorders of the vascular system during menopause, post- and premenopause. It is also prescribed for hot flashes, sleep disturbances, excessive sweating, high irritability of nerves, apathy, changeable mood, etc.
Mechanism of action
From a physiological point of view, the menopause period is distinguished by psycho-emotional, neuro-vegetative and other changes during hormonal restructuring of the female body. At the same time, at its three stages (premenopause, menopause and postmenopause), a phyto-agent having an estrogen-like acting mechanism is often used for hormone replacement and general treatment. Such a drug has a positive effect on the female hormonal background and maintains its balance.
Thanks to Klimadinon, the so-called hormonal “slides” that cause menopause symptoms can be avoided. Its active substances exert an excessive effect on the hypothalamic receptors, which, in turn, respond to this with a decrease in the production of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). Then the pituitary gland reduces the synthesis of luteinizing hormone and its concentration in the blood, while the ovaries help to reduce estrogen and their content in the body. This is confirmed by the instructions for use for Klimadinon.
All these related processes destabilize the psycho-emotional state, cause sudden mood swings, insomnia, apathy, chills, flushing, lower back and lower abdomen pains, hyperhidrosis, numbness in the limbs and other symptoms typical of menopause. And then the drug “Klimadinon” comes to the aid, leveling the hormonal balance and either not allowing the symptoms to appear, or significantly relieving them.
This tool has been used in Europe and the CIS for over thirty years. Experts have proved that it is very effective in menopause, because it helps to relieve the symptoms of menopause, it also prevents diseases and adapts the body after the woman has removed her ovaries. The beneficial effect of the phytobase on metabolism is often more pronounced than that of chemical and synthetic substances.
