Femoral 60 mg Tablet

Femoral 60 mg Tablet is a prescription tablet that contains raloxifene 60 mg in each tablet. It belongs to the selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) class and is used in women to help prevent and treat osteoporosis after menopause, and in some patients to lower the risk of invasive breast cancer. Femoral 60 mg Tablet is made by Duckbill Drugs and is supplied in a strip/box of 10 packs.

How it works: Raloxifene acts like estrogen in some parts of the body, especially the bones, where it helps slow bone loss and maintain bone strength. In tablet form, Femoral 60 mg Tablet is swallowed and absorbed through the digestive tract before working on estrogen receptors.

Femoral 60 mg Tablet is the standard adult tablet strength for raloxifene, so it is the form most often chosen when a doctor wants the usual approved dose. Because there are no other strengths or forms of this brand listed here, Femoral 60 mg Tablet fits the typical once-daily regimen used for this medicine.

• Prevention of postmenopausal osteoporosis
• Treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis
• Reduction of risk of invasive breast cancer in some postmenopausal women
• Support for long-term bone health after menopause

• Swallow Femoral 60 mg Tablet whole with a glass of water.
• Take it exactly once daily if your doctor prescribes it that way.
• It may be taken with or without food.
• If you also take calcium or vitamin D, follow your prescriber’s timing instructions.
• Do not crush, chew, or split the tablet unless your pharmacist says it is safe to do so.

Each Femoral 60 mg Tablet provides 60 mg of raloxifene per tablet. The usual regimen for this strength is one tablet by mouth once daily, but your doctor decides the exact schedule based on why it is being used and your health history. Do not take more than one tablet per day unless your prescriber specifically tells you to.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
