Raloxifene (Generic Evista) is used to both prevent and treat osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. It works by acting on oestrogen receptors in the bone tissue, where it mimicks the natural effects of oestrogen. This gradually reverses the excessive breakdown of bone that happens at menopause and causes an increase in bone mineral density, making bones stronger. Raloxifene has been shown to significantly reduce the risk of spinal fractures. Raloxifene helps to preserve bone mass, but it does not affect the breast and uterus like estrogen or relieve symptoms of menopause such as hot flashes.

How To Use Take Raloxifene by mouth usually once a day, with or without food, or as directed by your doctor. Use Raloxifene regularly to get the most benefit from it. Remember to use it at the same time each day. Be sure to include adequate amounts of calcium and vitamin D in your diet. Consult your doctor or pharmacist to see if you need to take calcium/vitamin D supplements. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for any questions you may have.
Drug Class and Mechanism Estrogen is a hormone which among other actions, regulates the turnover (formation and destruction) of bone. Decreases in estrogen levels that are seen after menopause or after removal of the ovaries, lead to a loss of bone density and weakened bones, a condition called osteoporosis. Raloxifene decreases bone turnover and increases bone density although not to the same extent as estrogen itself. This makes bones stronger and prevents fractures in women with osteoporosis. Raloxifene is called a "selective estrogen receptor modulator" since it has effects like estrogen on some tissues but inhibits the effects of estrogen on other tissues. Raloxifene decreases low density lipoprotein (LDL or "bad") cholesterol in the blood; however, unlike estrogen, Raloxifene does not increase high density lipoprotein (HDL or "good") cholesterol.

Häufige Fragen
What is Raloxifene?
Raloxifene is a FDA-approved, anti-osteoporosis drug. As one of a class of medications known as selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs), Raloxifene is approved for the purpose of increasing bone density. The ability of Raloxifene to bind to estrogen receptors on breast cells and to block the effects of estrogen on the breasts led to study of the potential of Raloxifene for preventing breast cancer.
A recent clinical trial (called STAR), which was conducted by the National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project (NSABP) and sponsored by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), demonstrated that Raloxifene is as effective as Nolvadex (generic name, tamoxifen) in reducing the risk of breast cancer in post-menopausal women at high risk (based on personal medical history and family history).
Raloxifene is not approved by the FDA for use in premenopausal women for any indication. It is approved for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis, and postmenopausal women with a history of blood clots, hypertension, diabetes, and cigarette smoking must also consider that raloxifene increases the risk of serious blood clots.
What should I tell my healthcare professional before he or she prescribes Raloxifene?
You should tell your healthcare if you have or had any unusual allergic reaction to Raloxifene, or if you are allergic to any other substances (foods, preservatives, or dyes); are or may be pregnant, are planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding; are planning to have any kind of surgery or to have a long period of inactivity (sitting, bed rest); have blood clot formation, active or history of, including deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and retinal embolism; have cancer or tumors; have congestive heart failure; have any other condition that increases the risk of blood clots; or have liver disease.
Are there any interactions between Raloxifene and other drugs or foods?
Raloxifene and certain other medicines can interact with each other. Tell your healthcare professional about all the medicines you take - including prescription and non-prescription medicines - especially cholestyramine, estrogens, and warfarin.
