Raloxifene Hydrochloride is a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) primarily used for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women and for reducing the risk of invasive breast cancer in high-risk patients. It acts by mimicking estrogen’s beneficial effects on bone while blocking estrogenic activity in breast and uterine tissues, offering targeted therapeutic benefits.
Bluepill Express manufactures high-purity Raloxifene HCl API under WHO-GMP, ISO 9001:2015, and cGMP-certified facilities, ensuring consistent quality, stability, and compliance with IP, BP, USP, and EP standards. This API is suitable for oral tablet formulations and combination therapies, catering to domestic and international pharmaceutical markets.
Therapeutic Uses
- Osteoporosis Prevention & Treatment: Increases bone mineral density in postmenopausal women
- Breast Cancer Risk Reduction: Lowers risk of invasive breast cancer in high-risk patients
- Hormone Replacement Therapy Alternative: Provides estrogen-like benefits without stimulating breast or uterine tissue
- Combination Therapy: Can be used alongside calcium and vitamin D supplementation
- Postmenopausal Health Management
Mechanism of Action
Raloxifene HCl selectively binds to estrogen receptors (ER):
- Agonist activity in bone tissue: Promotes bone density maintenance
- Antagonist activity in breast and uterine tissue: Reduces risk of estrogen-dependent cancers
- Balances estrogenic effects without increasing endometrial or breast cancer risk
- Supports cardiovascular health by modulating lipid profiles
