Definition of Selective Estrogen-Receptor Modulator (SERM)
Selective Estrogen-Receptor Modulator (SERM) definition - medical term
A
"designer estrogen" which possesses some, but not all, of the actions of
estrogen. For example, raloxifene (trade name EVISTA) is classified as a SERM because it
prevents bone loss (like estrogen) and lowers serum cholesterol (like estrogen) but
(unlike estrogen) does not stimulate the endometrial lining of the uterus.
