Selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs), also known as estrogen receptor agonists/antagonists (ERAAs),[1][2] are a class of drugs that act on estrogen receptors (ER).[3] Compared to pure ER agonists-antagonists (e.g., full agonists and silent antagonists), SERMs' activity is more tissue-specific, allowing them to selectively inhibit or stimulate estrogen-like action in various tissues.
