How Do Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs) Work?
SERMs are a class of drugs that act on estrogen receptors. They can either block or activate estrogen receptors depending on the tissue. For example, they can block estrogen in breast tissue (used in breast cancer treatment) but act like estrogen in bone tissue (used to prevent osteoporosis). Tamoxifen and Raloxifene are examples of SERMs.
