雷洛西芬是激素吗？雷洛西芬适用于哪类人吃？

Raloxifene, also known as raloxifene, Bebon, and Evitate, belongs to Class B medical insurance in my country. It is developed and produced by Eli Lilly Company of the United States. It is also favored by many patients in China. So, is it a hormone? Which type of people is Raloxifene suitable for? Today let’s take a closer look at what kind of medicine raloxifene is?

Raloxifene, a second-generation selective estrogen receptor modulator, is a new concept non-hormonal drug that resists bone resorption. It is a benzene thiophene compound, not a hormonal drug. Raloxifene is mainly used to prevent and treat osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. Experiments have confirmed that raloxifene can significantly reduce the incidence of vertebral fractures. Postmenopausal women with osteoporosis can take raloxifene.

Raloxifene reduces bone resorption and can reduce bone turnover biochemical indicators to the premenopausal range. It is also very convenient to use. One tablet of raloxifene is taken orally daily, which is 60 mg. There is no meal restriction when taking the drug. However, this drug requires long-term use. Raloxifene has an stimulating effect on bones and cholesterol metabolism in the human body, and can reduce the risk of vertebral fractures. With continued use for 4 years, the risk can still be reduced by 50%.

However, raloxifene belongs to Class B medical insurance, which means that only part of the cost can be reimbursed. The economic burden of long-term use is still relatively large. Patients in need can obtain cost-effective raloxifene drugs through overseas medical service agencies such as Medical Companion Travel. Guaranteeing the authenticity of the drug can also reduce the financial burden on patients. However, the price of the drug also changes due to exchange rate fluctuations. Patients can consult the medical companion travel service staff for the specific price of the drug. Patients can choose to purchase medicines according to their own conditions.

However, when using raloxifene, it should be noted that women who may be pregnant are prohibited from using it, patients with blood clots are also prohibited from using it, and patients with allergies and patients with severe renal impairment cannot use raloxifene. In addition, this drug also has adverse reactions. Patients should pay more attention to their own changes when using it. If there are intolerable toxic reactions, they should communicate with the attending doctor in time to avoid delaying the condition.
