Raloxifene Hydrochloride Description:

Evista (Raloxifene Hydrochloride) is an estrogen agonist/antagonist, referred to as a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) and belongs to the benzothiophene class of compounds. The biological actions of Raloxifene are largely mediated through binding to estrogen receptors. This binding results in activation of estrogenic pathways in some tissues (Agonism) and and the blockade of estrogenic pathways in other tissues (Antagonism).

Raloxifene Hydrochloride Application:

May prevent or treat corticosteroid-induced bone loss. American College of Rheumatology states that raloxifene can be offered to selected postmenopausal corticosteroid-treated women who refuse hormone replacement therapy or other antiresorptive agents (e. G., bisphosphonates, calcitonin) or in whom such therapies are contraindicated.
