How Raloxifene Works
Raloxifene HCl is the active medicinal ingredient found in Evista; it is used to prevent osteoporosis and invasive breast cancer in post-menopausal women. Raloxifene is not a hormone pill, it is an oral selective estrogen receptor modulator which means that in bones Raloxifene mimics the effect of estrogen and in breasts it blocks the negative effects of estrogen. If you have already been treated for breast cancer, Raloxifene does not treat or prevent the return of the cancer. Your doctor may have prescribed Raloxifene for other reasons other than those listed; therefore you must take this medication exactly as prescribed.
Generic Evista vs Brand Evista
The major difference between Generic Evista or Raloxifene Hydrochloride is that the generic is manufactured outside of a Elli Lily facility. Both medications contain the medical ingredient Raloxifene.. Generic Raloxifene HCl and Evista tablets are identical in dose, strength, safety, efficacy, chemical makeup and therapeutic use.
