Description
Tamoxifen Tablets BP 20 mg is a medication commonly used for the treatment and prevention of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer, particularly in postmenopausal women and men. It acts as a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM), meaning it blocks the effects of estrogen on breast tissue, which can help prevent the growth of estrogen-dependent cancer cells. Tamoxifen is often used after surgery or radiation therapy to reduce the risk of recurrence and can also be used to treat advanced or metastatic breast cancer.
The typical dosage is 20 mg, taken once daily, as prescribed by a healthcare provider. Common side effects include hot flashes, nausea, vaginal dryness, fatigue, and an increased risk of blood clots or uterine cancer. Patients on Tamoxifen should be regularly monitored for potential side effects, including gynecological exams and blood clot risk assessments.
