What is Evista used for?
Evista is prescribed to help treat and slow down bone loss (Osteoporosis) in postmenopausal women. It is also indicated to lower chances of getting invasive breast cancer that has never been diagnosed with this disease but has a high chance of getting it. Evista isn’t a cancer medicine, and it won’t treat breast cancer; it’s only used for prevention.
During menopause, a woman’s body slows down the production of the hormone called Estrogen. By the time a woman has gone through menopause, their body has a greater chance of sustaining bone fractures because Estrogen is an important part of maintaining healthy and strong bones.
You can buy Evista online at My Drug Center, and we have the Raloxifene generic available for purchase as well.
How does Evista work?
Evista comes as a tablet for oral administration, containing the active ingredient Raloxifene, which is in a class of medicines known as selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs). The Raloxifene dosage in this drug treats and prevents Osteoporosis by mimicking the effects of the hormone estrogen, which increases bone density. Also, it lowers the risk of breast cancer by blocking the effects of estrogen on breast tissue. Raloxifene works differently in different parts of the body; it acts like estrogen in some parts of the body such as your bones. In other parts of the body such as the uterus or breasts, Raloxifene acts like an estrogen blocker.
