Common Questions and Answers about Raloxifene side effect

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".
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 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 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 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 f tn Is there any side effects if you are on methodone and have Hepatitis C???
Avatar m tn I'm wondering if any one has ever experienced the side effect of body twitches when they started taking medication? I don't mean small twitches, it feels like my muscle is jerking it's scary. Alot of you are telling me to ask my psychiatrist about any questions, but she works in the emerg at the hospital. I am only seeing her short-term and she doesn't take calls.
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 f tn I suggest that you discuss with your oncologist regarding additional treatments like tamoxifen or raloxifene. These two drugs are proven to further decrease the chance of the cancer recurring on the same or the other breast and I believe would be of great benefit to your mother. However, these drugs have side effects that I believe are manageable and should be discussed well with the oncologist. Regards.
Avatar n tn I have been told by Oncologist that have 5 times risk factor for breast cancer. Am on raloxifene. Last nite I noticed some dimpling on the biopsied breast abt 1" from incision scar. Just had a manual exam by the Oncologist and don't want to seem like a hypochondriac, but should I see him again. He felt nothing during manual exam, but the lump that was removed was not palpable either and only detected by mammo.
Avatar m tn okay thanks. I probably wont try Seroquel. Geodon is what I am taking and it has tremors listed as a side effect but I didn't get them.
Avatar n tn t experienced anxiety with this insulin, nor have I heard that this is a side effect. However, I think you should talk to your diabetic team. It may be related to the insulin, in which case there are many other insulins out there your daughter can switch to. I do think too that her anxiety could simply stem from being a young teen with diabetes, and the stress of being 'different' from her friends. I know that personally for me this was an issue and a source of stress.
390140 tn?1219883889 Has anyone experienced stuttering as a side effect of taking Abilify? If so did the stuttering resolve eventually or did you have to go off the medication? Did anyone ever seek speech therapy for stuttering related to Abilify, and if you did, was it helpful?
Avatar f tn I pass out intestinal gas often ever since i take viread. Is flatulence a side effect of viread?
Avatar f tn What I want to know is, could this be a side effect of the mirena still? Could my cycle still be regulating itself? Or is it more likely that I am pregnant but had a false negative? I have had sore breasts, tingling nipples and fatigue. Any advice is appreciated. Thank you.
Avatar m tn I have this pea size lump underneath my left nipple, ive had it for about a month now.. I think i might be growing another under my right, there is a lump there but it is smaller but has been getting bigger. I've read a few things and most people have said it is a side effect of puberty and it should go away in 2 months or so.. Is this true? if not what can i do to get rid of it?, cause the left 1 hurts whenever i touch it or roll on it during the night...
Avatar m tn Zoloft can definitely cause some initial start up side effects, like an increase in anxiety, and sleep disturbances. Could be side effects. Most initial side effects will start to abate by about week two. When do you take the Zoloft? In the morning, or at night? If you take it at bedtime, ask your doc if you can switch it up and take it in the am. That shouldn't be a problem, and it may help. Keep an eye on things, most certainly let your doctor know about it.
