Summary Introduction
To discuss:
The usefulness of a Selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERM). The explanation of the pathway for the administration of this drug.
Introduction:
Selective estrogen receptor modulators are also known as SERMs. These are a group of drugs. These drugs act on the estrogen receptor. A distinctive feature which separates these materials from the pure ER agonists and antagonists. Their activity is unlike in various several tissues. Thus, yielding the opportunity to selectively inhibit or excite estrogen-like action in several tissues.
