[Pharma-Clinics. Medication of the month. Totelle Cycle: new sequential estrogen/progesterone regimen for hormone replacement therapy in menopause].
Totelle Cycle is a sequential regimen containing 2 mg of oestradiol for 28 days associated with a new progestogen, trimegestone, from day 15 to 28. It is indicated for the treatment of climacteric symptoms and the prevention of post-menopausal bone loss. Trimegestone is a new 19-NOR progesterone derivative with an original activity profile, near to--but much more powerful than--progesterone itself, and devoid of androgenic, glucocorticoïd and oestrogenic activity. This particular profile confers to trimegestone its metabolic neutrality and concurs to the high degree of safety and tolerance observed in studies related to Totelle Cycle.
