abstract |
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. |
