Raloxifene 60 mg tablet is a medication used to prevent and treat osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. It is also sometimes used to reduce the risk of breast cancer in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis or who are otherwise at high risk of breast cancer.
Raloxifene works by mimicking the effects of estrogen in some parts of the body, like your bones. In other parts of the body (uterus and breasts), raloxifene acts like an estrogen blocker.
Raloxifene is generally safe and well-tolerated. However, it can cause side effects such as hot flashes, leg cramps, and vaginal dryness. These side effects are usually mild and go away on their own.
If you are considering taking raloxifene, talk to your doctor. They can help you determine if raloxifene is right for you and can monitor you for any side effects.
