Description

Ralofen tablet is used to treat and prevent bone thinning (osteoporosis) in women who have gone through menopause. It also helps lower the risk of a certain type of breast cancer in these women. It contains raloxifene as an active ingredient. It works by acting like estrogen in some parts of the body, such as the bones, but not in others, like the uterus or breast.

This medication should not be used by women who could still become pregnant or by those with liver or severe kidney problems. It should also be avoided if you have or had blood clots (like deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism), unexplained vaginal bleeding, or signs of womb cancer. Individuals with these conditions should consult their doctor before using this medication.

Some common side effects include hot flashes, leg cramps, flu-like symptoms, and swelling in the legs or ankles (known as peripheral oedema). There is a small increased risk of blood clots associated with raloxifene, particularly during the first few months of use. Rare side effects include changes in liver function and gallbladder issues. Headaches and mild breast symptoms, such as tenderness, may also occur.

This medication can be taken safely with most common medications, including painkillers, antibiotics, allergy medications, and antacids. However, it should not be taken with cholestyramine, which is used to lower cholesterol, as this can reduce the effectiveness of raloxifene. Blood thinners, such as warfarin, may require closer monitoring when taken with Ralofen tablet.

Overall, Ralofen tablet is a good option for postmenopausal women who need protection against osteoporosis or breast cancer, but it is important to discuss your full medical history with your doctor. Always follow your healthcare provider’s instructions and report any side effects or unusual symptoms.
