Information About Raloxifene

Raloxifene is a selective oestrogen receptor modulator used to prevent and treat postmenopausal osteoporosis and reduce breast cancer risk in high-risk women in Singapore. Available as a 60mg oral tablet taken once daily, it is HSA-registered and available on prescription only in Singapore. Unlike oestrogen, raloxifene exerts oestrogenic bone-protective effects without stimulating the breast or endometrium — however, like oestrogen, it increases the risk of venous thromboembolism and must not be used in patients with a history of deep vein thrombosis. A valid doctor's consultation is required before dispensing. Order Raloxifene online at DoctorOnCall Singapore with same-day delivery available.
