What is Evista?
Evista (raloxifeno raloxifene evista optruma) alters the cycle of bone formation and breakdown in the body. It reduces loss of bone tissue. Although studies are not complete, raloxifene appears to work without increasing the risk of breast or uterine cancer.
Raloxifene is used to treat and prevent osteoporosis (decreased density of bone mass) in postmenopausal women. Raloxifene evista may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.
What is contraindication of Evista raloxifene with other medicines?
Although certain medicines should not be used together at all, in other cases two different medicines may be used together even if an interaction might occur.
In these cases, your doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary.
When you are taking raloxifene, it is especially important that your health care professional know if you are taking any of the following:
- Cholestyramine (e.g., Questran)-Cholestyramine can significantly reduce the absorption of raloxifene
