Abstract

The aim of this study is to meta-analytically assess the efficacy and safety of adjunctive raloxifene for postmenopausal women with schizophrenia. Six studies with 440 patients, including 225 (51.14%) patients on raloxifene and 215 (48.86%) on placebo who completed 13.71 ± 5.09 weeks of treatment, were included in this study. Meta-analysis of Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale total scores and positive, negative, and general symptom scores [standard mean difference (SMD) −0.22 to −0.55, 95% confidence interval (CI) −1.01 to −0.02, p = 0.04–0.01; I 2 = 74–79%] revealed an advantage of adjunctive raloxifene treatment over placebo treatment. There was no significant difference regarding discontinuation rate [risk ratio (RR) = 1.38, p = 0.51] and adverse drug reactions (RR = 1.27, p = 0.57) between the two groups. This meta-analysis showed that adjunctive raloxifene appears to be efficacious and safe for postmenopausal women with schizophrenia. Moreover, raloxifene may be efficacious for patients with less severe symptoms. Future studies with a large sample size are needed to confirm these findings.
