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:

The use of raloxifene is contraindicated in patients with active or past history of venous thromboembolic events, including deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and retinal vein thrombosis. In clinical trials, women treated with raloxifene had an increased risk of venous thromboembolism. A less serious event, superficial thrombophlebitis, also has been reported more frequently with raloxifene. The greatest risk for deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism occurs during the first four months of treatment. Therapy with raloxifene should be considered cautiously in women at risk for thromboembolic disease for other reasons, such as congestive heart failure, superficial thrombophlebitis, and active malignancy.
