Re: New Drug for Vaginal Atrophy
What I don't quite understand about ospemifene is whether or not it is so different in some way from tamoxifen (which is also a SERM where the estrogen receptors bind to the drug) that it either does or doesn't offer the same benefit as tamoxifen (PLUS help with VVA).
Lani, can you help with this question?
