WHAT FABLYN IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
FABLYN is used to treat osteoporosis in women after the menopause
(postmenopausal osteoporosis)
who are likely to break bones, especially in the spine, hips and
wrists. It belongs to a group of
medicines called Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERM).
In women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, FABLYN reduces the risk of
both fractures of the spine
(vertebral fractures) and non-spine fractures (non-vertebral
fractures), but not hip fractures.

Adult (postmenopausal women):
The recommended dose is one 500 microgram tablet daily.
The tablet may be taken any time of day without regard to food and
beverage intake.
Supplemental calcium and/or vitamin D should be added to the diet if
daily intake is inadequate.
Postmenopausal women require an average of 1,500 mg/day of elemental
calcium. The recommended
intake of vitamin D is 400-800 IU daily.
