Leaflet TAMOXIFEN SANDOZ 10 10mg film-coated tablets
Tamoxifen is a medication primarily used for the treatment and prevention of breast cancer, particularly hormone-sensitive forms (estrogen receptor-positive). It is a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) that works by blocking the effects of estrogen on breast cells, thereby reducing the growth and spread of cancer cells.
Tamoxifen is used in the treatment of early-stage breast cancer, as well as advanced or metastatic cases. It is also prescribed to reduce the risk of breast cancer recurrence and to prevent breast cancer in women at high risk.
Side effects may include hot flashes, nausea, fatigue, vaginal dryness, mood changes, and, in rare cases, blood clots or endometrial cancer. It is important to take tamoxifen as prescribed by a doctor, with regular monitoring to detect potential complications.
