Fiona 60 mg Tablet

Fiona 60 mg Tablet contains raloxifene 60 mg in each tablet. It is a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) used in women after menopause to help prevent and treat osteoporosis, and it may also lower the risk of invasive breast cancer in certain postmenopausal women. Fiona 60 mg Tablet is taken by mouth, and the 60 mg strength is the standard tablet strength for these approved uses. This product is made by Dr Reddy's and is supplied as tablets in a pack of 10 strips/boxes.

How it works: Raloxifene in Fiona 60 mg Tablet acts like estrogen in some tissues, such as bone, where it helps slow bone loss and reduce fracture risk. In other tissues, especially breast tissue, it blocks estrogen-like effects, which is why this tablet can also help lower the risk of invasive breast cancer in some women.

Fiona 60 mg Tablet is the standard full tablet strength of raloxifene and is not a lower-dose starter form. It is suited for postmenopausal women whose doctor has decided that raloxifene is appropriate for bone protection or breast cancer risk reduction; it is not meant for rapid symptom relief and does not work like estrogen. Because it is a prescription strength with specific safety rules, a doctor chooses it based on fracture risk, breast cancer risk, and overall health.
