Quick detail

Raloxifene ​Description

• Raloxifene is used to prevent and treat osteoporosis (condition in which the bones become thin and weak and break easily) in women who have undergone menopause (change of life; end of menstrual periods). Raloxifene is also used to decrease the risk of developing invasive breast cancer (breast cancer that has spread outside of the milk ducts or lobules into the surrounding breast tissue) in women who are at high risk of developing this type of cancer or who have osteoporosis.
• Raloxifene cannot be used to treat invasive breast cancer or to prevent invasive breast cancer from coming back in women who have already had the condition.
• Raloxifene also cannot be used to decrease the risk of developing non-invasive breast cancer. 
• Raloxifene is in a class of medications called selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs).
• Raloxifene prevents and treats osteoporosis by mimicking the effects of estrogen (a female hormone produced by the body) to increase the density (thickness) of bone.
• Raloxifene decreases the risk of developing invasive breast cancer by blocking the effects of estrogen on breast tissue. This may stop the development of tumors that need estrogen to grow.

How Raloxifene Is Given

• Raloxifene is given to you in a pill form. There is no intravenous (IV) preparation available. Take this medicine with a full glass of water, at the same time each day. If you miss a dose, do not take a double dose the next day. This medicine is to be taken once a day.
• In addition to Raloxifene, your healthcare provider may recommend that you take a calcium supplement with vitamin D (Vitamin D helps the calcium be absorbed better).
• The amount of Raloxifene that you will receive depends on many factors, including your general health or other health problems, and the type of cancer or condition being treated. Your doctor will determine your dose and length of time you will take Raloxifene.

Monitoring and Testing

1. Your health care provider will want to do blood tests to see how well you are responding to Raloxifene. Keep all appointments for tests, and office visits.
2. Women will need a gynecologic (GYN) examination before therapy, and during therapy, at regular intervals. Discuss the appropriate schedule with your healthcare provider.
3. Bone mineral density (BMD) should be done periodically to determine how strong your bones are. You may need this at least every 2 years, or sooner if your healthcare provider suggests.
4. Your doctor may also monitor other types of blood work, to see if the medication is affecting other parts of your body.

How should this medicine be used?

Raloxifene comes as a tablet to take by mouth. It is usually taken once a day with or without food. Take raloxifene at around the same time every day. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take raloxifene exactly as directed.

Continue to take raloxifene even if you feel well. Do not stop taking raloxifene without talking to your doctor.
