Ospemifene, at the dose of 90 mg/day, was more estrogenic than raloxifene, as shown by changes in serum follicle-stimulating hormone and sex hormone-binding globulin levels. Neither agent stimulated endometrium, but in contrast to raloxifene, ospemifene had a clear estrogenic effect in the vagina. Further studies with ospemifene are needed in subjects with vaginal atrophy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
