WHAT EVISTA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Evista contains the active substance raloxifene hydrochloride.
Evista is used to treat and prevent osteoporosis in postmenopausal
women. Evista reduces the risk of
vertebral fractures in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis. A
reduction in the risk of hip
fractures has not been shown.
How Evista works:
Evista belongs to a group of non-hormonal medicines called Selective
Oestrogen Receptor Modulators
(SERMs). When a woman reaches the menopause, the level of the female
sex hormone oestrogen goes
down. Evista mimics some of the helpful effects of oestrogen after the
menopause.
Osteoporosis is a disease that causes your bones to become thin and
fragile - this disease is especially
common in women after the menopause. Although it may have no symptoms
at first, osteoporosis
makes you more likely to break bones, especially in your spine, hips
and wrists and may cause back
pain, loss of height and a curved back.
