_Concomitant estrogen treatment _
The appropriate use and restrictions associated with estrogen therapy
should be considered before
Livensa therapy is initiated and during routine re-evaluation of
treatment. Continued use of Livensa is
only recommended while concomitant use of estrogen is considered
appropriate (i.e. the lowest
effective dose for the shortest possible duration).
Patients treated with conjugated equine estrogen (CEE) are not
recommended to use Livensa, as
efficacy has not been demonstrated (see sections 4.4 and 5.1).
_Duration of treatment_
_ _
Livensa treatment response should be evaluated within 3-6 months of
initiation, to determine if
continued therapy is appropriate. Patients who do not experience a
meaningful benefit should be re-
evaluated and discontinuation of therapy be considered.
