Posmo 60 mg Tablet

Posmo 60 mg Tablet is a prescription tablet that contains raloxifene 60 mg in each tablet. It belongs to a group of medicines called selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs). Posmo 60 mg Tablet is used in women to help prevent and treat osteoporosis after menopause, and it may also be prescribed to reduce the risk of invasive breast cancer in certain postmenopausal women at higher risk.

How it works: Raloxifene in Posmo 60 mg Tablet acts like estrogen in some tissues, such as bone, where it helps slow bone loss and support bone strength. In breast tissue it blocks estrogen-like effects, which is why this tablet can also help lower certain breast cancer risks in selected patients.

Posmo 60 mg Tablet is the standard tablet strength for raloxifene therapy and is the form commonly used when a doctor decides this medicine is appropriate. Because there are no other strengths or forms listed for this brand, this 60 mg tablet represents the full prescribed dose in each tablet rather than a lower or higher step-up product.
