Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Compare the number of vasomotor symptoms at 12 weeks between those women taking the combination of raloxifene with oral estradiol versus those taking raloxifene alone.

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Determine the effect of treatment with combined raloxifene and estradiol compared with raloxifene alone on the severity of vasomotor symptoms as well as on the frequency and severity of hot flashes and night sweats
  • Determine the effects of treatment with combined raloxifene and estradiol in postmenopausal women on endometrial and general safety
