Evista Uses & Indications
Cholestyramine (Questran) reduces the absorption of raloxifene. Therefore, these two medications should be taken several hours apart. Raloxifene may slightly reduce the ability of blood to clot and thus increase the effects of medications that reduce clotting (blood thinners). Therefore, if raloxifene is given with blood thinners such as warfarin (Coumadin), the ability of blood to clot may need to be monitored more closely with frequent measurements of the prothrombin time of blood.

Evista Side Effects
The most common side effects of raloxifene are diarrhea, nausea, headache, hot flashes, sinusitis, weight gain, muscle pain, leg cramps, and ankle swelling. Raloxifene may increase blood triglyceride levels in some individuals Raloxifene increases the risk of blood clots, including stroke, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and pulmonary embolism (blood clots in the lung). The greatest increase in risk occurs during the first 4 months of use. Patients taking raloxifene should avoid prolonged periods of restricted movement during travel when blood clots are more prone to occur. Patients should move around periodically during long trips.
Here is a good piece of advice from the pharmacist - never just throw unwanted meds in the trash. You never know who will pick them up and who can ingest them. Drug overdoses happen all the time and they can be fatal. You never want to be the reason why a pill finds it's way into a child or an addicts hands and causes them to end up in the hospital.
Drug take back programs are becoming more and more popular and help people easily dispose of their unwanted medications safely. The government along with doctors and pharmacists highly recommend disposing of your unwanted meds through a take-back program, sometimes even your local pharmacy has a permanent drop-off point.
