Selective oestrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) are now recognised as a valuable method of maintaining the health of postmenopausal women. Aimed at the non-specialist, the book initially discusses the epidemiology of the menopause and the mechanism of action of oestrogen before concentrating specifically on the effect of SERMs, their safety profile and their role in clinical practice.
