Indications for the drug
Evista is a medication that has more than one purpose, it is proven to be very effective in preventing and treating osteoporosis as it makes your bones a lot stronger and therefore less likely to break.
The advantage of this drug is that it can be taken with vitamin D and calcium to make the effect even better. The condition of osteoporosis often puts women at a risk of developing breast cancer.
If you suffer from osteoporosis or are for any other reasons at risk for getting cancer in your breasts Evista can help substantially reduce the chances of that happening. However, that does not mean that your odds of having breast cancer in the future will be down to zero completely.
The risk of getting the disease can only be accurately estimated by your doctor, who will look at such risk factors as age and family history of breast cancer or breast biopsy.
If you have the disease already or have had it in the past Evista will neither treat nor prevent it from relapsing and will not be helpful for dealing with breast cancer.
Safety Information
Women who are for any reason at risk for developing blood clots in lungs, eyes or legs should not take Evista, as it can increase that risk.
If during Evista treatment you start experiencing symptoms of a blood clot which include leg warmth or pain, swelling of hands, feet or legs, chest pain, vision change, and shortness of breath do not hesitate to contact your doctor right away.
You may be at higher risk for developing a clot if you need to stay still for long periods of time as a part of your lifestyle or a work requirement, in such case you need to consult your doctor on ways of reducing the risk at these conditions.
Before starting treatment and taking Evista do not forget to tell your doctor if you have previously suffered from a stroke, mini-stroke, high blood pressure, irregular heartbeat or a heart attack. If you believe you might be at risk for either a stroke or a heart attack you need to consult with your physician.
Even though Evista does not increase your chance of suffering from either one of the conditions it increases the risk of dying if a stroke occurs.
You also need to avoid taking Evista if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or believe you may be pregnant soon because the drug may be potentially harmful to the fetus.
Evista linked to depression
There are several known side effects that Evista can be responsible for and now there is one more added to the list - depression. There have been several clinical studies conducted with an aim of linking Evista usage and the development of depression in women who take it.
Even though these studies have been mainly inconclusive due to a vast amount of reason that can cause depression in women there is reason to believe that Evista can increase the risk for women to get one.
Today depression is unfortunately a common condition that can affect anybody, so knowing the symptoms you will know what to watch out for, especially if you are taking Evista.
If you feel pessimistic or hopeless, constantly sad, anxious, fatigue, lacking in energy, loss of interest in previously exciting activities, difficulty in making decision, remembering and concentrating, insomnia, irritability, suicidal thoughts, constant headaches, changes in appetite or weight and chronic pain you need to consult your doctor as soon as possible.
