When checking interaction based on authoritative sources Drugs.com, Rxlist.com, Webmd.com, Medscape.com there are contraindications or side effects that may cause harm or increase the negative effect from drug use in presence of concomitant diseases.

Consumer:

Raloxifene undergoes extensive first-pass metabolism in the liver. Following administration of a single oral dose in Child-Pugh Class A patients with cirrhosis and total serum bilirubin ranging from 0.6 to 2.0 mg/dL, plasma raloxifene concentrations were 2.5 times higher than in controls. Therapy with raloxifene should be administered cautiously in patients with hepatic insufficiency, since safety and efficacy have not been evaluated. Although raloxifene is generally well tolerated, even at dosages higher than currently recommended, patients with liver disease should be monitored for occurrence of undue adverse effects during raloxifene therapy.
