Abstract

This invention relates to methods, pharmaceutical compositions and kits useful in promoting bone formation and/or preventing bone loss and lowering blood cholesterol. The compositions are comprised of an estrogen agonist/antagonist as a first active component and a statin as a second active component and a pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle, carrier or diluent. The compositions and methods of treatment are effective while substantially reducing the concomitant liability of adverse effects associated with estrogen administration.
