Selective estrogen receptor modulators

Topic

Selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) are a class of drugs that act on estrogen receptors throughout the body. Unlike pure estrogen receptor agonists or antagonists, SERMs exhibit tissue-specific activity, allowing them to selectively stimulate or inhibit estrogenic actions in different tissues. This unique mechanism makes them highly valuable in treating conditions like breast cancer, osteoporosis, and postmenopausal symptoms.
