WARNINGS Venous Thromboembolic Events: An analysis of Raloxifene -treated women across all placebo-controlled clinical trials showed an increased risk of venous thromboembolic events defined as deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and retinal vein thrombosis. The greatest risk for thromboembolic events occurs during the first 4 months of treatment. Raloxifene should be discontinued at least 72 hours prior to and during prolonged immobilization (e. g., post-surgical recovery, prolonged bed rest), and Raloxifene therapy should be resumed only after the patient is fully ambulatory. Patients should be advised to avoid prolonged restrictions of movement during travel.
