A member asked:
I had breast cancer and developed severe osteoporosis whilst on arimidex/ooph, now on strontium ranelate. is evista (raloxifene) a safer med or are they similar?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Evista (raloxifene) is safe : Evista is a good medicine to prevent osteoporosis. Since you already have osteoporisis , for you the best medicine would be one of the bisphosphonates(there are several to choose from). Examaples include zoledronic acid(zoedronate), Fosamax and boniva (ibandronate).
