Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Patients who meet any of the following criteria are NOT eligible for inclusion in the study. 1. Being totally asymptomatic for less than 7 days before positive result to swab 2. Requires supplemental oxygen therapy or mechanical ventilation; 3. Being already under raloxifene or other SERM treatment for another medical condition at the time of randomization; 4. Being concurrently involved in another trial or participation in any clinical trial for 1 months before this study. The 1-month interval is calculated as the time between the last visit of the previous study and the first day of the present study (date of the electronic informed consent signature); 5. Clinically significant abnormal physical findings which could interfere with the objectives of the study; 6.

Autoimmune diseases receiving therapy at the time of randomization; 8. Risk of venous thrombosis or any condition/disease that could bring to an extended period of immobilization; 9. Ascertained or presumptive hypersensitivity to the active principles (raloxifene) and/or excipients or allergic reactions in general, which the Investigator considers may affect the outcome of the study; 10. Medications: in particular cholestyramine (or any ion exchange resin), medications used in treatment of early or advanced breast cancer (including adjuvant therapy), warfarin, use of any antiretroviral medication, any drug that cannot be co-administered with the experimental compound. 11.
