Tamoxifen Tablet 20mg

Tamoxifen 20mg is primarily indicated for the treatment and prevention of breast cancer. It is a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) that works by binding to estrogen receptors, blocking the effects of estrogen in breast tissue, which can inhibit the growth of estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancers.

Primary indications include:

1. Breast cancer treatment: Used to treat both early-stage and metastatic ER+ breast cancer in pre- and postmenopausal women.
2. Breast cancer prevention: Prescribed for women at high risk of developing breast cancer to reduce the likelihood of occurrence.
3. Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS): Used to lower the risk of developing invasive breast cancer in patients treated with surgery and radiation.
4. Male breast cancer: Occasionally used in men for the treatment of ER+ breast cancer.
