Patient summary
Tamoxifen 10mg and 20mg tablets, used in the management of oestrogen receptor positive breast cancer. A SERM that occupies the receptor in breast tissue.
Mechanism of action
Nolvadex functions by binding to the oestrogen receptors in breast tissue. This prevents oestrogen from attaching, which can slow or stop the growth of breast cancer cells that rely on this hormone to develop.
Storage instructions
Store at room temperature, keep in original packaging, away from moisture and direct light.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Pregnancy: Must not be used during pregnancy as it may cause fetal harm. Breastfeeding: Must not be used while breastfeeding as the drug is excreted into milk.
