Ospemifene |
Ospemifene and its major metabolite have an oestrogen like effect in the vagina increasing the cellular maturation and mucification of the vaginal epithelium. Ospemifene’s biological actions are mediated through the binding of ospemifene and its major metabolite to oestrogen receptors leading to activation of some oestrogenic pathways (agonism) and blockade of other (antagonism). |
