Lasofoxifene

Meaning

Lasofoxifene is a third-generation selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) developed for the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis and for reducing the risk of breast cancer in postmenopausal women. As a SERM, it exhibits tissue-specific estrogen agonist effects in some tissues, such as bone and the cardiovascular system, while acting as an estrogen antagonist in others, particularly breast and uterine tissue. Its clinical profile offers a targeted approach to managing age-related hormonal changes and bone health.
