I was prescribed Evista 60mg Tablets (Raloxifene) to help with my osteoporosis and reduce my risk of breast cancer. It's been a few months since I started taking it, and I've had some ups and downs. At first, I was nervous about the possible side effects, especially the more serious ones. But after doing some research and talking to my doctor, I felt more at ease. The most troubling side effects are those related to allergic reactions, neurological symptoms, and blood clots, which are rare but serious. It's important to stay vigilant and seek medical attention if any of these symptoms appear. Luckily, I haven't experienced any of these. I've had some mild side effects like hot flashes and leg cramps, which are manageable. It's reassuring to know that these side effects are not uncommon and can be discussed with your healthcare provider. I'm glad I have this option to help keep my bones strong and reduce my risk of breast cancer. Has anyone else had experience with Evista? What has your journey been like?
