Ceost 60 mg Tablet

Ceost 60 mg Tablet is a prescription medicine that contains raloxifene 60 mg in each tablet. It comes in a strip/box of 10 packs from Comed Chemicals and belongs to the selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) class. Doctors use Ceost 60 mg Tablet mainly to help prevent and treat osteoporosis in postmenopausal women, and it may also be used to lower the risk of invasive breast cancer in certain women at increased risk. This is an oral tablet, so the 60 mg dose is taken by mouth rather than injected or applied topically.

How it works: Raloxifene in Ceost 60 mg Tablet acts like an estrogen blocker in some tissues and estrogen-like in others. In the tablet form, it is swallowed and absorbed through the digestive tract, then helps slow bone loss and may reduce the growth of certain estrogen-sensitive breast cells.

Ceost 60 mg Tablet is the standard tablet strength used for raloxifene therapy, so it fits typical prescribed dosing for eligible women. Because there are no other strengths or forms listed for this brand, this 60 mg tablet is the exact product a doctor would choose when they want the usual raloxifene tablet dose and the convenience of a simple once-daily oral form.
