How many boxes of raloxifene per treatment course

The dosage varies depending on the patient’s specific conditions and treatment goals, and it usually requires long-term use to achieve the best results.

Standard treatment course dosage

The recommended dose of raloxifene is 60 mg per day, taken orally once. Based on the common specifications of 60mg*100 tablets/box, one box of medicine can meet the dosage for about 100 days. For long-term treatment of osteoporosis or prevention of breast cancer, patients often need to continue taking medications for months or even years.

Calculation of the number of treatment boxes

If three months is taken as a treatment cycle, the patient will need approximately 1 box of raloxifene. For patients on long-term medication, 3-4 boxes may be needed per year. The specific dosage needs to be adjusted according to the doctor's recommendations, especially for different indications and individual differences.

The number of treatment boxes of raloxifene needs to be determined according to the treatment cycle and individual needs. Patients should develop a reasonable medication plan under the guidance of a doctor.

How much does raloxifene cost?

Raloxifene is contraindicated in pregnant women because it may cause fetal damage or miscarriage. Breastfeeding women should also avoid use. The distribution of the drug in breast milk is unclear and may interfere with breast function.

Patients with moderate to severe renal impairment should use raloxifene with caution.
