1.
WHAT IS THE MEDICINE INTENDED FOR?
EVISTA is used for the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis in
postmenopausal women.
EVISTA is used for the prevention of osteoporosis in postmenopausal
women when estrogen
therapy is considered unsuitable.
Prevention of breast cancer - EVISTA reduces the risk of invasive
breast cancer in
postmenopausal women with osteoporosis and in postmenopausal women at
high risk for
invasive breast cancer.
THERAPEUTIC GROUP:
EVISTA belongs to the non-hormonal drug group known as Selective
Estrogen Receptor
Modulators (SERMs). When a woman reaches menopause, the level of the
sex hormone
estrogen decreases. EVISTA simulates some of the supporting effects of
estrogen at the
postmenopausal stage.
Osteoporosis is a disease
which causes a decrease in bone mass and increases
the bones’
tendency to fracture - this disease is especially common in
postmenopausal women, although
it is possible that initially no symptoms will appear. Osteoporosis
increases the risk of bone
fractures, especially those of the spinal column, hips and wrists, and
may cause back pain,
loss of height and a curved back.
