WHAT OPTRUMA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Optruma contains the active substance raloxifene hydrochloride.
Optruma is used to treat and prevent osteoporosis in postmenopausal
women. Optruma reduces the
risk of vertebral fractures in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis.
A reduction in the risk of hip
fractures has not been shown.
How Optruma works
Optruma belongs to a group of non-hormonal medicines called Selective
Oestrogen Receptor
Modulators (SERMs). When a woman reaches the menopause, the level of
the female sex hormone
oestrogen goes down. Optruma mimics some of the helpful effects of
oestrogen after the menopause.
Osteoporosis is a disease that causes your bones to become thin and
fragile - this disease is especially
common in women after the menopause. Although it may have no symptoms
at first, osteoporosis
makes you more likely to break bones, especially in your spine, hips
and wrists and may cause back
pain, loss of height and a curved back.
