PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR TREATING CONDITIONS RESPONSIVE TO ESTROGEN

摘要

This invention relates to methods, pharmaceutical compositions and kits useful in treating conditions responsive to estrogen by the administration of estrogen agonists / antagonists. Conditions responsive to the compositions and methods include rheumatoid arthritis, colon cancer, tissue wounds, skin wrinkles and cataracts. 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.
