General Info:

Evista (Raloxifene) alters the cycle of bone formation and breakdown in the body. It reduces loss of bone tissue. Although studies are not complete, Evista (Raloxifene) appears to work without increasing the risk of breast or uterine cancer.

Evista (Raloxifene) is used to treat and prevent osteoporosis (decreased density of bone mass) in postmenopausal women.

Avoid sitting still for long periods of time during travel while taking Evista (Raloxifene).

Take Evista (Raloxifene) once daily, at any time, with or without food. Take calcium and vitamin D supplements as well, if you do not get enough in your diet. Avoid alcohol and tobacco. Do weight-bearing exercises to strengthen your bones.

Currently an estimate 500,000 women use Evista (Raloxifene) to reduce the risk of osteoporosis, so it is expected that a number of women will be comfortable using it for breast cancer prevention.
