Article explores the efficacy and safety of ormeloxifene, a selective estrogen receptor modulator, in the treatment of dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB). Dysfunctional uterine bleeding is a common gynecological disorder characterized by irregular menstrual bleeding due to hormonal imbalances. This review examines the pharmacological properties of ormeloxifene, its mechanisms of action in regulating menstrual cycles, and its clinical outcomes in the management of DUB. The potential benefits, side effects, and future directions for research are also discussed, highlighting ormeloxifene as a promising therapeutic option for DUB.
