Evista ( ral-OX-i-feen) is used to help prevent and treat thinning of the bones (osteoporosis) only in postmenopausal women. It works like an estrogen to stop the bone loss that can develop in women after menopause, but it does not increase the bone density as much as daily 0. 625 mg doses of conjugated estrogens. Evista will not treat hot flashes of menopause and may cause hot flashes to occur. Also, Evista does not stimulate the breast or uterus as estrogen does. Evista lowers the blood concentrations of total and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, the bad cholesterols, but it does not increase concentrations of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, the good cholesterol, in your blood. Evista is available only with your doctor's prescription, in the following dosage form(s): Oral Tablets (U.S.)
