What is Tamoxifen?
Active Ingredients: Tamoxifen
Tamoxifen Tablets are an antineoplastic drug used to treat hormone-positive breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body, in both women and men. It can be used to lower the risk of developing breast cancer for women with high risk, for example, with a family history of breast cancer.
The active ingredient, Tamoxifen, is a selective estrogen receptor modulator. It works by blocking the actions of estrogen in breast cells, which therefore stops the growth of estrogen-dependent cancer cells.
