Ronal 60 mg Tablet

Ronal 60 mg Tablet contains raloxifene 60 mg in each tablet and is supplied as a strip/box of 10 tablets by Blue Cross Laboratories. It belongs to a class of medicines called selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs). Ronal 60 mg Tablet is used mainly to help prevent and treat osteoporosis after menopause and to lower the risk of invasive breast cancer in certain postmenopausal women at higher risk. It is a prescription women’s health medicine, and the exact dose and duration depend on your doctor’s assessment.

How it works: Raloxifene in Ronal 60 mg Tablet acts like estrogen in some tissues, especially bone, where it helps slow bone loss and supports bone strength. In breast tissue, it blocks estrogen’s effects, which can help reduce the chance of certain estrogen-sensitive breast cancers.

Ronal 60 mg Tablet is the standard tablet strength for raloxifene, so it is not a higher-strength version compared with other sister products, because no other strengths/forms are listed here. This 60 mg tablet suits adults who have been evaluated by a doctor for osteoporosis prevention or treatment, or for breast cancer risk reduction, and it is designed for once-daily use rather than quick symptom relief. Your prescriber may choose Ronal 60 mg Tablet because it matches the established daily dose and is simple to take as a swallowed tablet.

• Prevention of postmenopausal osteoporosis
• Treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis
• Reduction of invasive breast cancer risk in selected women
• Bone health support after menopause

• Swallow Ronal 60 mg Tablet whole with water; do not crush or chew it.
• You can take it with or without food, but take it at the same time every day if possible.
• If your stomach feels upset, taking the tablet with a small meal may help.
• Keep taking the tablet exactly as prescribed, even if you feel well.
• Do not take extra tablets to make up for a missed dose; follow your doctor’s instructions.
• Because raloxifene can increase clot risk, get up and move around during long travel or periods of sitting still.

Each Ronal 60 mg Tablet provides 60 mg of raloxifene, which is the usual daily tablet dose for approved uses in postmenopausal women. It is typically taken once daily, and the maximum daily dose is usually 60 mg unless your doctor specifically changes your plan. Your doctor decides whether this strength is appropriate for you based on your bone health, cancer risk, and overall medical history.

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