Like most medications, including over-the-counter medications, prescription drugs, or drugs used in clinical trials, tamoxifen and raloxifene cause adverse effects in some women. The effects experienced most often by women taking either drug are hot flashes and vaginal symptoms, including discharge, dryness, or itching. It is possible that some women may experience leg cramps, constipation, pain with intercourse, sinus irritation or infection, or problems controlling the bladder upon exertion. Treatments that may minimize or eliminate most of these side effects are available to the participants.
