Selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) is a class of medication that acts on the estrogen receptor. A characteristic that distinguishes these substances from receptor agonists and antagonists is that their action is different for various tissues, thereby granting the possibility to selectively inhibit or stimulate estrogen-like action in various tissues Pituitary gland - clomifene blocks estrogen action, leading to an increase of follicle-stimulating hormone. Uterus - tamoxifen may increase endometrial carcinoma risk, but raloxifene does not. Breast - all SERMs decrease breast cancer risk Deep venous thrombosis - the risk may be elevated in all SERMs. Bone turnover and postmenopausal osteoporosis respond favorably to SERMs. Hot flashes are increased by all SERMs.
