What are Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs)?
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators, or SERMs, are a class of compounds that act on the estrogen receptor (ER). They exhibit tissue-specific actions, acting as estrogen agonists in some tissues and as antagonists in others. This unique ability allows them to be used for treating a variety of conditions, including breast cancer, osteoporosis, and menopausal symptoms.
