Raloxifen, 20mg (50 Tablets)

Mechanism of Action

Raloxifene works by selectively binding to estrogen receptors in various tissues, mimicking some beneficial effects of estrogen, particularly on bone. This selective action results in:

• Decreased bone resorption and turnover

• Enhanced bone mineral density

• Reduced risk of fractures in postmenopausal women

Additionally, Raloxifene may inhibit estrogen-responsive tumors, such as certain types of breast cancers, providing dual benefits for bone health and breast cancer risk management.
