WHAT RALOXIFENE TEVA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Raloxifene Teva is used to treat and prevent osteoporosis in
postmenopausal women. Raloxifene Teva
reduces the risk of vertebral fractures in women with postmenopausal
osteoporosis. A reduction in the
risk of hip fractures has not been shown.
How Raloxifene Teva works
Raloxifene Teva 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. Raloxifene Teva 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.
