Osral 60 mg Tablet

Osral 60 mg Tablet is an oral prescription medicine that contains raloxifene 60 mg in each tablet. It belongs to the selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) class and is used in women’s health, mainly to help reduce the risk of postmenopausal osteoporosis and lower the chance of invasive breast cancer in certain postmenopausal women. The Panacea Biotec pack contains 10 tablets per strip/box, with each tablet delivering 60 mg of raloxifene.

How it works: Raloxifene in Osral 60 mg Tablet acts like estrogen in some tissues, such as bone, where it helps slow bone loss and maintain bone strength. In other tissues, such as the breast, it blocks estrogen-like stimulation, which is why this tablet can help lower certain breast cancer risks in selected women.

Osral 60 mg Tablet is the standard raloxifene tablet strength used when a doctor wants the usual once-daily dose in postmenopausal women. Since there are no other strengths or forms listed for this brand, this 60 mg tablet is the specific tablet strength available, and it is meant for patients whose doctor has decided raloxifene is appropriate for them.
