Therapeutic indications

CONBRIZA is indicated for the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis in women at increased risk of fracture. A significant reduction in the incidence of vertebral fractures has been demonstrated; efficacy on hip fractures has not been established.

When determining the choice of CONBRIZA or other therapies, including oestrogens, for an individual postmenopausal woman, consideration should be given to menopausal symptoms, effects on uterine and breast tissues, and cardiovascular risks and benefits (see section 5.1).

Posology and method of administration

Posology

The recommended dose of CONBRIZA is one tablet once daily, at any time of day, with or without food (see section 5.2).

Doses higher than 20 mg are not recommended because there is no demonstrable increased efficacy and higher doses may be associated with additional risk (see section 5.1).

Supplemental calcium and/or vitamin D should be added to the diet if daily intake is inadequate.
