How raloxifene works on bone
Raloxifene acts on oestrogen receptors in different ways depending on the tissue. In bone it behaves like oestrogen, while it does not stimulate the lining of the uterus.
Who should not use raloxifene
The Evista leaflet rules it out for anyone who has, or has had, blood clots, for women who have not reached menopause or could become pregnant, for men, and for people allergic to raloxifene.
Precautions during treatment
Long periods without moving raise the chance of a clot, so keep moving on long journeys. A history of stroke or atrial fibrillation is something to raise with the doctor, and raloxifene is not recommended when liver function is impaired. Breast checks and mammograms should continue regularly.

According to the Evista leaflet, the usual dose is one tablet a day, at any time and with or without food, taken regularly for a lasting effect. Take the dose prescribed for you.

Interactions
