Raloxifene Tablets

Raloxifene is a selective estrogen receptor modulators, which are known for blocking estrogen from attaching to breast tissue. This allows for the potential to treat and decrease the risk of developing breast cancer in females.

Raloxifene tablet thus has the ability to occupy the estrogen receptor sites on the breast tissue, leaving no space for the incoming, growth-stimulating estrogens to attach to, effectively reducing breast volume. Multiple studies are investigating these claims. In one study, a 3-to-9 month Raloxifene treatment course decreased gynecomastia by up to 86%.
