Abstract
The invention pertains to a pharmaceutical dosage unit, such as a tablet or a capsule, comprising an effective amount of tibolone (generally of from 0.1 to 10% by weight) and a starch-containing pharmaceutically acceptable carrier (also denoted as basic granulate), wherein the carrier contains of from 10 to 100% by weight of the starch. Thus a more stable tibolone formulation is obtained, allowing dry storage and lower doses of active ingredient.
