Manage breast cancer and regulate estrogen levels with Tamoxifen Citrate
Helps manage cancer and prevent the recurrence of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer.
Regulates estrogen levels, reducing the risk of cancer cell growth.
Improves bone density in postmenopausal women
Tamoxifen is primarily prescribed for individuals with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer or those at high risk of developing this type of cancer.
Common side effects include hot flashes, fatigue, and mood swings. More serious but less common side effects could involve changes in vision or unusual bleeding. Always discuss potential side effects with your doctor.
Beyond breast cancer treatment and prevention, Tamoxifen can be used off-label for conditions like infertility in certain cases due to its effects on estrogen. It can also be used by postmenopausal women to help maintain bone density.
The typical course of treatment can range from 5 to 10 years, based on clinical assessments and individual responses to the therapy. However, treatment can vary by individual, so it is important to contact an expert before starting.
