Overview

Long-term estrogen deficiency after menopause is responsible for different disorders, which not only make the quality of life in the older age worse but also are the major causes of women’s mortality. It is especially the case for cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis. Aim of this review is to point at efficacy of raloxifene (a selective estrogen receptor modulator) in the long-term care of the women in their non-reproductive period of life, and namely in prevention and treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Key words:
bone turnover – breast cancer – postmenopausal osteoporosis – prevention – raloxifene
