📋Overview
Raloxifene is a medication that acts as a selective estrogen receptor modulator. It is commonly associated with the management of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women and is also linked to reducing the risk of invasive breast cancer in certain populations. Raloxifene influences bone metabolism and mimics some of the beneficial effects of estrogen on bone density. It is not a hormone, but it interacts with estrogen receptors in specific tissues.
