Abstract
Post-menopausal oestrogen replacement therapy (HRT) is the agent of choicefor restraint of post-menopausal bone loss. In numerous observational, andin a few intervention studies, it has been shown to reduce osteoporotic fractures. However, in order to be effective treatment has to be carried on long term. This is a task not easily achieved due to poor patient adherence. The majority of patients stop treatment after a few months. Fear of breastcancer and refusal to tolerate resumption of cyclic withdrawal bleeding are the principal objections. Newer and more user-friendly forms of treatmentare needed. Ideally, these should have an efficacy similar to oestrogen onthe central nervous system, cardiovascular system and bone, without adverse effects on the breast and uterus. With this in mind, Selective oestrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs) have been developed. In this chapter we review how effective modern pharmacology has been in achieving an improved design of hormonal replacement for the post-menopausal women, and the place that it has obtained today alongside both older and newer forms of treatment.
