Abstract
This invention relates to methods, pharmaceutical compositions and kits useful in reducing cardiovascular morbidity and the risk of mortality in men and post-menopausal women and morbidity and the risk of mortality in post-menopausal women from the combined reduction of breast cancer, osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease by the administration of estrogen agonists/antagonists. The compositions are comprised of an estrogen agonist/antagonist and a pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle, carrier or diluent. The compositions and methods of treatment are effective while substantially reducing the concomitant liability of adverse effects associated with estrogen administration.
