Evista As Good As Tamoxifen For Breast Cancer
Topics: Medicine
And it has less side effects!
Researchers say that the osteoporosis drug Evista works as well as tamoxifen in reducing the risk of breast cancer in high-risk older women, with fewer dangerous side effects.
Both drugs reduce the risk of breast cancer in high-risk women past menopause by about 50 percent, and the results of the 19,000-woman trial show Evista, (generic - raloxifene), is less likely than tamoxifen to cause certain types of blood clots, cataracts and uterine cancer. It even results in less minor side effects such as hot flashes.
