Health | Drugs available to prevent further bone loss include bisphosphonates like alendronate and risedronate, calcitonin, and the SERM (selective estrogen receptor modulator) raloxifene. (references) | |
Scientists soon learned that although this SERM could be used to combat breast cancer, it also increased the risk of endometrial cancer and serious blood clots, just like estrogen. (references) | ||
Unlike estrogen, hot flashes are actually a side effect of this drug. In 1998 a second SERM, raloxifene, was approved to protect bone density like estrogen does. Unlike estrogen or tamoxifen, it does not seem to cause endometrial cancer, but like tamoxifen, it can cause blood clots and hot flashes. (references) | ||
