A 52 year-old woman presents to her physician for a check-up. She is recovering from a wrist fracture after a fall. Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry of the hip had shown her to have osteoporosis. She became menopausal at age 50 and did not begin hormone replacement therapy because of a strong family history of breast cancer. She now fears a future hip fracture and would like to begin a bone loss prevention regime. Which of the following pharmaceutical agents is most appropriate for this patient?
A. Calcitonin nasal spray
B. Oral conjugated estrogen
C. Raloxifene
D. Tamoxifene
E. Transdermal estradiol
