Raloxifene is a medication that belongs to a class of drugs called selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs). It is primarily used to prevent and treat osteoporosis in postmenopausal women.
Raloxifene works by selectively binding to estrogen receptors in various tissues throughout the body. It acts as an estrogen agonist in some tissues, meaning it mimics the effects of estrogen, while acting as an estrogen antagonist in other tissues, blocking the effects of estrogen.
