Buy Evista : Raloxifene : Bonmax : Osral

Evista (Raloxifene) is a Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulator (SERM) used
to treat and prevent osteoporosis (decreased density of bone mass) in women
after menopause. SERMs are structurally different from hormones, including
estrogens and progestins. Raloxifene alters the cycle of bone formation and
breakdown in the body and reduces the amount of calcium lost from bones and
helps to prevent bone loss and to increase normal healthy bone formation in patients with
osteoporosis. Raloxifene does NOT reduce hot flashes associated with estrogen deficiency.
