Ralocium 60 mg Tablet

Ralocium 60 mg Tablet is a prescription tablet that contains 60 mg of raloxifene in each tablet, packaged in a strip/box of 10 packs by Bal Pharma Ltd. It belongs to the selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) class and is used in women’s health care, most commonly to help treat and prevent osteoporosis after menopause. Your doctor may also choose Ralocium 60 mg Tablet when they want a non-estrogen option that works on bone tissue without being a hormone replacement medicine.

How it works: Raloxifene in Ralocium 60 mg Tablet acts like estrogen in some tissues and blocks estrogen-like effects in others. In the bones, it helps slow bone loss and support bone strength, which is why this tablet is used for osteoporosis management in postmenopausal women.

Ralocium 60 mg Tablet is the standard tablet strength of raloxifene used in routine treatment, rather than a lower or higher step-up dose. Because there are no other sibling strengths or forms listed for this brand, this 60 mg tablet is the form that fits typical adult dosing when a clinician decides raloxifene is appropriate. It is not meant for immediate symptom relief; the benefit is gradual and depends on regular use as prescribed.

• Prevention of osteoporosis after menopause
• Treatment of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women
• Lowering the risk of vertebral fractures
• Women’s health bone protection when a non-estrogen option is preferred

• Swallow Ralocium 60 mg Tablet whole with water; do not crush, chew, or split it unless your pharmacist or doctor tells you otherwise.
• Take it exactly as prescribed, usually once daily, at about the same time each day.
• You may take it with or without food.
• If your doctor tells you to take calcium or vitamin D, separate them from Ralocium 60 mg Tablet only if instructed, because your overall bone plan may include both.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is close to the next dose; do not double up.
• Stay hydrated and follow any weight-bearing exercise or bone-health advice your clinician gives you.

Each tablet provides 60 mg of raloxifene, so the dose is built into one tablet of Ralocium 60 mg Tablet. For many adults, this medicine is taken once daily, and the usual maximum is 60 mg per day unless your doctor specifically changes the plan. Your prescriber decides the dose based on your bone health, fracture risk, and overall medical history.

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

Common side effects of Raloxifene may include:

• Hot flashes or flushing, which may be more noticeable in some women
• Leg cramps
• Swelling in the hands, feet, or legs
• Headache
• Nausea or stomach upset
• Flu-like symptoms or feeling tired

• Do not use Ralocium 60 mg Tablet if you are pregnant or may become pregnant; it is for postmenopausal women only.
• This tablet can increase the risk of blood clots, so tell your doctor if you have a history of DVT, PE, stroke, or prolonged immobility.
• Use caution if you have liver disease, because raloxifene is processed by the liver.
• Tell your doctor about any planned surgery or long periods of bed rest, since the medicine may need to be stopped before immobility.
• Ralocium 60 mg Tablet is not used to relieve hot flashes and may actually make them worse in some people.
• Avoid dehydration and discuss alcohol use with your clinician if you have other bone or liver risk factors.
• Do not drive if you feel dizzy, unwell, or have vision changes after taking the tablet.

• Estrogen-containing medicines, including hormone therapy, may reduce the appropriateness of raloxifene use.
• Cholestyramine can lower raloxifene levels and should generally not be taken together.
• Warfarin may interact and require closer monitoring of clotting tests.
• Other medicines that raise blood clot risk may be a concern and should be reviewed by your doctor.
• Bile acid sequestrants and some lipid-lowering therapies may affect absorption or use, so the full medication list should be checked.
