Medicine Description tamoxifen 10mg
Tamoxifen tablets are used to treat hormone-dependent breast cancer. They work by blocking the action of estrogen within cancer cells, which helps reduce tumor growth and spread. They are also used to prevent breast cancer in women at high risk, thanks to their structure, which prevents estrogen from attaching to its receptors within cells. They also help reduce the likelihood of disease recurrence after surgery or chemotherapy. They should be taken under medical supervision, with adherence to the prescribed dose and duration, to avoid side effects such as mood disorders, hot flashes, and an increased risk of blood clots.
Tamoxifen is considered a useful and effective tablet in the treatment and prevention of breast cancer.
