Formulation and Active Substance Content

Tribestan is an original non-hormonal preparation of plant origin. Its active components are steroid saponins of furostanol type isolated from the epigeous part of the Tribulus terrestris L. plant. The preparation has been standardized on a base of the predominating compound, protodioscine, not less than 45%.

Dosage and Mode of Application

In men: The dosage and duration of treatment are being determined by the character and severity of the illness. Most often, the dose is 1 - 2 tablets of 250 mg 3 times a day with meals. The duration of the therapy in the case of impotentio coeundi should be at least 40 - 50 days.

It is known that a period of at least 80 days is needed between the spermatogonial division and the formation of a mature spermatozoon. This imposes the necessary minimal therapeutic cycle in the case of sterility to be a complete germinative cycle of spermatogenesis, i.e. 80 - 90 days.

In women: The treatment is strictly individually adjusted and depends upon the severity of the condition. The usual dose is 1 - 2 tablets of 250 mg 3 times a day with meals. In the case of sterility, the preparation is administered from day 1 to day 12 of the menstrual cycle. The combined administration of Tribestan with ovulation stimulating preparations in the sterile female patients results in a better effect.

Use during Pregnancy or Lactation

The animal experiments showed that Tribestan possesses a very low toxicity. No evidence of any carcinogenic, embryotoxic and/or teratogenic effect were found. However, the preparation must be discontinued whenever a pregnancy is established.

Cautions and Specific Warnings

In treatment of women with natural or an artificial climacteric syndrome, the transition from the effect-achieving to the maintenance dose must be gradually realized. The abrupt reduction of the dose that achieved the effect results in a renewed triggering of the whole complex of climacteric signs and symptoms.

Here are some guidelines based on the most common regimens

Regimen 1

Tribestan is usually prescribed in a dose of 2 tablets 3 times per day for 20 days. Thereafter, the dose is being reduced by 1 tablet every 4 - 5 days to reach maintenance dose of 1 tablet 2 times a day whereas the term of treatment depends upon the achieved effect.

Regimen 2

Alternatively, Tribestan may also be administered in a dose of 2 tablets 2 times per day for a 30-day course with a following dose reduction to 1 tablet 2 times daily every 4 - 5 days.

Regimen 3

Tribestan may be administered in a dose of 1 tablet 3 times a day continuously for a longer period of time (up to one year).
