SERMs

Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs)

• Raloxifene (brand name Evista®)

Raloxifene (Evista®) is a medication that has some but not all of same properties as estrogen; it decreases risk for spine fracture, may reduce risk the for breast cancer, but in a small number of women (3-6%) increases hot flashes. Calcitonin (Miacalcin®), available as a nose spray, is another medication used for osteoporosis. It appears to protect against spine fractures and is sometimes used to help treat the pain of an acute spine fracture.

Alendronate is approved as a treatment for osteoporosis in men and is approved for treatment of glucocorticoid (steroid)-induced osteoporosis in men and women.

Risedronate is approved for prevention and treatment of glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis in men and women.

Parathyroid hormone is approved for the treatment of osteoporosis in men who are at high risk of fracture.
