Estrogen can cause side effects like vaginal bleeding and breast tenderness. It can also increase the risk of breast or uterine cancer. Raloxifene doesn’t have these same side effects. In addition, raloxifene also lowers total and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (also known as “bad” cholesterol) but won’t raise high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (also known as “good” cholesterol). Raloxifene is being tested to see if it lowers the risk of heart disease and breast cancer.
