Common Questions and Answers about Raloxifene hci side effects

evista

Avatar f tn It actually has the same side effects as Tamoxifen but not every person will experience all of these side effects or to the same degree. I'm not sure what you mean by "it made me ill" ... you may have the same side effects with the other drug but it's worth a try. Regards ....
Avatar f tn I took Effexor for a year and a half after starting Tamoxifen. It was a horrible drug to get on and even bigger bugger to get off. HOWEVER, it helped with the mood swings. Cannot say it did much for the flashing... a major side effect is SWEATING. So instead of flashing, it was a constant heat. I've been off for about a year, the hot flashes have subsided to rare occassions. One bad side-effect of Effexor is "lack of emotion".
Avatar n tn The hormone therapy has so many side affects. The drugs suggested for me are Arimidex or Raloxifene. Is there anyone that does not take hormone therapy and is still doing well with no recurrance?
Avatar n tn Since radiation is a local treatment, side effects are usually confined to the area being treated. Radiation treatment to the chest may cause problems when swallowing, cough, or shortness of breath and breast soreness and/or swelling. I am not sure which medication your mother is taking, but Evista (raloxifene) can cause muscle cramps of the legs. Please have your mother make an appointment with her physician.
Avatar n tn Can I Take Diphenhydramine HCI 50mg and Clonazepam .5mg and Lithium Carbonate 450mg in one dose tonight before bed.
492898 tn?1222243598 You are so great; it was the last one, the Faslodex he was talking about, I am sure. I just could not find this information myself. (my brain, you know??) Thanks so much! Also about the info on hormonal and chemo. I am estrogen receptor positive and should have never stopped the tamoxifen, and it was not my idea, believe me. I am really hoping this will help and I also read that there is experimentation with use of high dose tamoxifen for brain mets.
Avatar f tn However, these drugs have side effects that I believe are manageable and should be discussed well with the oncologist. Regards.
394052 tn?1203100849 less evidence was found for raloxifene. the USPSTF found good evidence that both tamoxifen and raloxifene increase the risk of thromboembolitic events (stroke, DVT, PE). they found that tamoxifen increases the risk of endometrial CA. the USPSTF recommends screening for colon CA starting at age 50 in men and women. earlier screening recommendations depend on the patient, family history and medical conditions (ie they are different for conditions such as ulcerative colitis, etc).
Avatar m tn He switched me to Brimonidine Tartrate and not only did the side effects go away but my pressures were best they have been in years 16-15 don't know why they felt so unusual but two docs and one tech double and triple checked. even had me come back in 4 weeks to do again and 15-17 . I just thought there was no way eye drops could have side effects . But the results from a switch were a pleasant surprise. Doc said sometimes drops are not effective anymore and a change works.
Avatar m tn Some of these drugs are quite potent and may have unwanted side effects. Be sure to discuss all of that with your doctor prior to taking them. The other option is the surgery. You should go to your doctor and get checked. Sometimes, gynecomastia by fat deposits, but won't necessarily go away with diet and exercise. Mastectomy can be done endoscopically, which is much less invasive than a normal surgery.
Avatar m tn Myalgias and arthralgias are known but rare side-effects.
Avatar n tn The side effects of lowering stomach acid are too numerous. You are affecting the very acid needed to absorb nutrients and kill off bacteria, fungi and parasites. The package insert on prescription proton pump inhibitors states 4 - 8 weeks to treat GERD.
Avatar n tn nexium for 5 years. Side effects were numerous and life threatening. The drugs were not working well and eventually not at all. Turning to the internet and doing a bit of research is why mother is still alive and no longer suffers GERD, LPR and is 95% improved with gastritis.
Avatar f tn However you can find plenty of digestive enzymes supplements and betaine HCI with pepsin supplements on the market. Some brands contain both enzymes and betaine HCI with pepsin. Brands my mother takes - Nature's Sunshine Protein Digestive Aid which contains betaine HCI with pepsin. Dr Sandra Cabot's Digestive Enzymes (previously taking for over a year) Vegetarian Digestive Enzymes by Metagenics (currently taking). Prefers this brand but both enzyme supplements work well.
Avatar m tn The composition of the syrup is each 5ml contains 4mg Promethazine HCI, 9mg Codeine Phosphate and 8mg Ephedrine HCI. Each bottle of the syrup is 120 ml, I usually take one or two bottle of it. In my country, tablet with single composition is available. Which one/two of the tablet can replace the syrup?
Avatar f tn The medications currently FDA approved as chemoprevention for breast cancer are tamoxifen and raloxifene. Decisions to use a medication as chemoprevention would be made based on weighing the risks and benefits to the individual patient.
Avatar n tn I have a Hyatus Hernia and have been taking Omoprazole 20mg a day for around 8 years. I am concerned that maybe this is to long and wonder what the side effects may be. I have tried to stop taking it but symptoms come back very quickly. Would be grateful for some advice.
Avatar n tn ve taken it as a cough medicine in the past and at prescription dosages it can have side effects of concern in higher dosages.

Avatar f tn I have had this weird pain that comes and goes periodically on the inside on my arms in the elbow area and up. I noticed it about 6+ years ago. At first I htought I was allergic to my wool sweater, but noticed it other times as well. It comes on and will bother me for serveral days or weeks and then just goes away for months. It feels it does not hurt when I push or press onthe area, but light brushing against the skin is moderately painful.
Avatar f tn Aside from radiation, you can ask your doctor about other breast cancer risk reduction strategies such as that of hormonal treatment with tamoxifen or raloxifene. Other breast conditions that may increase the risk of invasive cancer would include DCIS (ductal carcinoma in situ). Regards.
Avatar f tn Use of Raloxifene is intended to decrease the risk of osteoporosis and to decrease the risk of invasise breast cancer or to prevent invasive breast cancer from retuning in women who have had invasive BC. If you have questions or concerns about using it, it would be best to discuss them with the physician who prescribed it. Best wishes...
Avatar n tn Anything above 7 days could cause rebound effects, and he must see a doctor regarding how to solve the symptoms caused by the nose spray. Side effects are nasal congestion, other nose problems and as a matter of fact, high blood pressure. If he is short of breath, self-medication with nose spray is not good. The doctor must find a cause (unless the only symptom is nasal congestion, that would likely be caused by the mentioned side effects).
Avatar n tn * Good levels of stomach acid (HCI): B12 must first be separated from the protein that binds it. This requires HCI. Low stomach acid is common as this lowers with age. Reflux is a common symptom of low stomach acid * Intrinsic factor (IF): B12 cannot pass through the intestinal wall and into the bloodstream without IF. * Good bacteria in the gut: an imbalance in the beneficial bacteria of the digestive system can separate B12 from IF.
