About Evista

Evista treats and sometimes prevents the bone loss associated with bone disease osteoporosis. It also significantly lessens the risk of developing invasive breast cancer. Evista is only given to women who are at risk for one or both of these illnesses, and women who already have osteoporosis. Evista does not cure or treat invasive breast cancer and does not work in cases where women already have the disease.

Patients usually take Evista once a day by mouth, around the same time every day. The manufacturer recommends that pregnant women, women who have not reached menopause and may potentially become pregnant, should not take Evista.

There are some serious risks that come with Evista treatment. The drug may cause bleeding or spotting in some patients, and can also increase the risk of certain types of cancer. The manufacturer recommends eating and drinking foods and drinks that are rich in calcium and vitamin D while taking Evista.[1]

Evista can heighten the risk of developing blood clots in the legs or lungs, which can lead to fatal stroke. Risks are higher for women with coronary artery disease, or those who are susceptible to it. The risk of clotting increases with extended Evista use, as does sitting for long spans of time. Patients who experience symptoms like pain or warmth in the lower legs, swollen body parts, chest pain, coughing up blood, or altered vision are instructed to discontinue Evista and seek prompt medical attention.[1]

Common adverse reactions to Evista include leg cramping, hot flashes, swelling, joint pain, and insomnia. It is possible to overdose on Evista. Signs of an overdose include dizziness, severe cramping in the legs, upset stomach, skin rash, flushing and tremors.[1]
