What are Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs)?
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs) are a class of drugs that act on the estrogen receptors in the body. They can either mimic or block the effects of estrogen in various tissues. This unique characteristic makes them valuable in treating and preventing certain conditions, such as breast cancer and osteoporosis. Examples of SERMs include tamoxifen, raloxifene, and toremifene.
