Conditions treated by raloxifene
Raloxifene is primarily used for the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women (after menopause). Osteoporosis causes an increased risk for bone fractures. Raloxifene can also reduce the risk of invasive breast cancer and increase bone mineral density in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis or at high risk for breast cancer.
How does raloxifene work?
Raloxifene is a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM), with an estrogen-agonistic effect. It acts by binding to estrogen receptors in certain tissues, mimicking the beneficial effects of estrogen on bone density, while blocking the negative effects on the breast and uterus. This helps to prevent bone loss and reduce the risk of breast cancer.
Forms of raloxifene available
Raloxifene is available in oral tablet form.
Dosage of raloxifene
The dosage of raloxifene may vary depending on the specific condition being treated and individual patient factors. It is important to follow the recommended dosage instructions provided by the healthcare provider.
Directions for raloxifene use
Raloxifene should be taken as directed by the healthcare provider. It is usually taken once daily, with or without food. It is important to take raloxifene regularly to maximize its effectiveness.
Warnings and precautions for raloxifene

- It is important to inform the healthcare provider about any existing medical conditions, allergies, and any other medications or supplements you are currently taking, to avoid potential drug interactions
- Tell your doctor if you have ever had heart problems, such as heart disease, heart attack or stroke, high blood pressure, blood clots, high triglycerides or cholesterol caused by estrogen, kidney disease, or abnormal vaginal bleeding
- Monitor for thromboembolic events such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Symptoms include red, tender and inflamed calves and lower limbs
- It is not known if raloxifene passes into breast milk. Speak to your doctor before breast-feeding
- Make sure you get plenty of calcium and vitamin D in your diet when taking raloxifene
Possible side effects of raloxifene
In clinical trials common side effects of raloxifene may include hot flashes, leg cramps, and swelling of the legs. Serious side effects, such as blood clots or stroke, are rare but can occur. If any unusual or severe adverse effects (such as sudden chest pain, shortness of breath, loss of vision or blurred vision) are experienced, it is important to contact a healthcare provider.
Interactions with other drugs
Raloxifene may interact with other medications, including anticoagulants such as warfarin, cholestyramine, and medications containing estrogen such as hormone replacement therapy. It is important to inform your healthcare provider about all the prescription drugs, over the counter nonprescription medication, supplements, and vitamins you are taking to avoid potential drug interactions.
Similar drugs to raloxifene
Other medications, such as bisphosphonates (e.g., alendronate) and selective estrogen receptor modulators (e.g., tamoxifen), may be used as alternatives to raloxifene for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis.
