Ralofen Effects on Serum Lipids in Menopause Women

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Raloxifen is used widely to prevent menopause complications. Hyperlipidemia is a risk factor for coronary heart disease in menopausal women. There are controversies about raloxifen effects on serum lipids, so this study was done to determine the effects of raloxifen (ralofe...

Inclusion criteria were 45–60 years old and past of one year of last menstural period. Exclusion criteria were history of cancer, abnormal uterus bleeding, clotting dysfunction, use of androgen, corticosteroid and estrogen, renal failure, chronic and acute disease of liver, history of deep vein thrombosis and cardiovascular disease.

FINDINGS: The mean age (±SD) of the patients was 53.2±3.7 and the median time of last menstural period was 6 years. The mean level of serum triglyceride (mg/dl) of menopausal women was significant (p=0.012) before treatment (159.6±36.1 mg/dl), one month after treatment (162.9±34.8 mg/dl) and three month after treatment (170.8±41.7 mg/dl). So the mean level of serum cholesterol (mg/dl) of menopausal women was significant (p=0.000) before treatment (193.6±22.2 mg/dl), one month after treatment (198.6±24.9 mg/dl) and three month after treatment (202.1±26.7 mg/dl).The mean level of serum LDL (mg/dl) of menopausal women was not significant (p=0.152) before treatment (114.6±28.3 mg/dl), one month after treatment (118.8±29.6 mg/dl) and three month after treatment (113.9±26.7 mg/dl). So the mean level of serum HDL (mg/dl) of menopausal women was not significant before treatment (47.8±9.3 mg/dl), one month after treatment (46.7±8.5 mg/dl) and three months after treatment (48.2±5.8 mg/dl). CONCLUSION: This study showed that ralofen had no significant effects on serum lipids levels and triglyceride and cholesterol increased were in normal and borderline limits that don have clinical importance.M Javadian,Z BouzariF TirehdastBabol University of Medical Sciencesarticleosteoprosisralofenserum lipidmenopauseMedicineRMedicine (General)R5-920ENFAMajallah-i Dānishgāh-i ̒Ulūm-i Pizishkī-i Bābul, Vol 11, Iss 6, Pp 16-20 (2010)
