What is Tamoxifen used for?
Tamoxifen is primarily used to treat estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer. It can be used in both premenopausal and postmenopausal women. It is also used to reduce the risk of developing breast cancer in high-risk individuals and can be prescribed to treat infertility in some cases.
How does Tamoxifen work?
Tamoxifen blocks estrogen receptors on breast cancer cells, preventing estrogen from stimulating the growth of these cells. Although it acts as an estrogen antagonist in breast tissue, it can mimic estrogen's effects in other tissues, such as the bones and the uterus.
How should Tamoxifen be taken?
Tamoxifen is usually taken as an oral tablet, typically once or twice a day. It can be taken with or without food. It's important to take Tamoxifen consistently as prescribed by your healthcare provider, often for several years (usually 5-10 years).
Can Tamoxifen cause infertility?
Tamoxifen can affect fertility, especially in premenopausal women, as it may alter hormone levels. However, it is sometimes used to treat infertility in women with ovulatory issues, as it can stimulate ovulation.
