Raloxifene Tablets 60mg, 28 Tablets

Raloxifene Tablets 60mg is designed to help post-menopausal women restore their bone health and decrease their risk of vertebral fractures. This medicine works by targeting the hormones that start to decline after menopause, helping reduce the chances of developing osteoporosis. Studies have shown a significant reduction in the risk of vertebral fractures with Raloxifene Tablets 60mg use, though a reduction in the risk of hip fractures has not been proven. With this medication, post-menopausal women can continue to lead a healthy and active life free from fear of losing bone health. For those seeking medical intervention for their post-menopausal osteoporosis, Raloxifene Tablets 60mg is here for you.

Raloxifen 60mg tablets is the generic of Evista tablets

How Raloxifene works

Raloxifene belongs to a group of non-hormonal medicines called Selective Oestrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs). When a woman reaches the menopause, the level of the female sex hormone oestrogen goes down. This medicine mimics some of the helpful effects of oestrogen after the menopause. Osteoporosis is a disease that causes your bones to become thin and fragile – this disease is especially common in women after the menopause. Although it may have no symptoms at first, osteoporosis makes you more likely to break bones, especially in your spine, hips and wrists and may cause back pain, loss of height and a curved back.
