LIVVE can help women who are suffering with symptoms of the menopause, there are 48 symptoms of the menopause and these are listed here. If you think you are over 30yrs old and struggling with these please book a consultation. If you are currently undergoing medical treatment or gynealogical care we may need to ensure that any underlying conditions are resolved before we can start treatment. We are ONLY able to help with symptoms of perimenopause and menopause, for anything else you need to ensure that you need to see your GP. There may be a delay or stop in your treatment if we need to refer you back to your doctor for any other medical conditions.

Once we have prescribed medication for you we will need to review you at 3 then 6 monthly intervals to check your symptoms and tailor your medication. You can log into your 'LIVVE' account and book a consultation or request to 'Self Certify' (after you have had a 3 month check)
Blood tests

Not always, our prescribing pharmacists will discuss this with you in your consulation. If you are prescribed testosterone treatment then you will need a blood test before treatment, 3 months after starting treatment and every 9-12 months during treatment. See here for more info on blood tests

We use a partner lab - Medichecks - for blood testing, we book a Phlebotomy appointment at a clinic near you or we can arrange a nurse home visit for an extra charge, this will all be arranged in your consultation. You can also arrange your own blood testing and send results to us via email to hello@livve.uk
HRT

Yes, Testosterone is the third hormone that many women benefit from, although it is mainly prescribed for low libido, at LIVVE we prescribe it off-licence as it can help with brain-fog, low mood and energy levels too. We mainly prescribe Androfeme, although if patients prefer we can prescribe other brands of Testosterone.

No, LIVVE is an online pharmacy dedicated to treating symptoms of the menopause. We realise that HRT is not suitable for everyone and that not everyone wants HRT so we do offer alternative treatment options in our online pharmacy for your symptoms - see here.
