Brief Answer:
Angeliq is better.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome here.

Angeliq contain estradiol and drospirenone.
Livial contains tibolone which is semisynthetic steroids.

Most literature has shown that angeliq has better effects on skin as it slows down cellular degenarative process. Thus it has anti aging and anti wrinkle effect.

Hope this helps.

Feel free to ask further.

Thanks.

Thank you Dr. XXXXXXX Setia. Your reply is very helpful.

I now ask if Angeliq will help in reversing some of the damage done to the skin as a result of not going on it sooner ( one year approx). This is mainly dryness of the skin and loss of plumpiness / thickness of the skin and a few small wrinkles.

Is there an even better alternative to Angeliq as I need the best one because I am undergoing surgery to my gums and need the scar tissue to be able to heal afterwards.


Kindest Regards

XXXX

Detailed Answer:
Your welcome :)

Dear XXXXXXX

In my opinion Angeliq is the best option.

In many of the studies and clinical trial, Angeliq has been shown to have good patient acceptabiliy and tolerability over other HRTs.
The incidence of side effects has been very less with this drug as compared to other HRTs.

So, In my opinion, this is the best option for you.

Hope this helps.

Take care.
Thanks.
