WHAT EVISTA IS USED FOR
Evista is a prescription
medicine for women after
menopause to treat or prevent
osteoporosis. You should take
calcium and vitamin D along
with Evista if you do not get
enough calcium and vitamin D
in your diet. Evista is not for
use in premenopausal women.
Evista is also use for the
reduction of the risk of
invasive breast cancer in
postmenopausal women.
HOW EVISTA WORKS
Evista contains the active
ingredient raloxifene
hydrochloride. Evista belongs
to a group of non-hormonal
medicines called selective
oestrogen receptor modulators
(SERMs). Evista treats
osteoporosis by helping make
bones stronger and less likely
to break. It helps prevent
osteoporosis by building bone
and stopping the thinning of
bone that occurs after
menopause. It also works to
decrease the risk of invasive
breast cancer by blocking
estrogen in breast and uterine
tissue.
