Ormeloxifene is a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) with a weak agonist on endometrium and strong antagonist on breast and is used in treatment of benign breast diseases.
Material and Methods: 156 Patients coming with complains of breast pain and /or nodularity in the age group of 20 to 45 years was included in the study. Visual analogue scale was used for pain assessment and for assessment of nodularity Lucknow Cardiff Scale was used.
Observation and Result: At first follow up visit(2nd week) 25% had pain score of 2, 36% with pain score 4 and 37% with pain score 6.but at the end of treatment only 3.8% ,2.5% and 3.8% had score 2,4,and 6 respectively.
Regarding Nodularity status at initial visit 38 (24.35%) patients had grade 1 and 2 nodularity and 118(75.64%) had grades 3, 4 and 5 nodularity. At the end of follow up study 93% had grade 1 and 2 nodularity and only 10 (6.4%) had grade 3,4 and 5 nodularity.
