Synopsis

While hormone replacement therapy is often recommended to protect menopausal and postmenopausal women from osteoporosis, heart didease, and menopausal symptoms, hormone therapy may present increased risk for breast cancer, especially for those with family histories of the disease. Now women have more options for maintaining good health after menopause. Evista and other selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMS) are now available to protect the heart and bones, while possibly reducing your risk of breast cancer. Using actual case studies, this book provides the information every woman needs to work in conjunction with her doctor and to find the therapy most beneficial to her, answering such questions as:

-How do I know if I suffer from osteoporosis?
-Isn't heart disease primarily a man's problem?
-How does Evista work?
-Will Evista really prevent breast cancer?
-What kind of a doctor should I talk to about Evista?
-What are the risks associated with this drug?
-Are there any side effects from Evista?
-How long will I have to take Evista?
-And Much, Much More!
