Tamodex 20 mg

Tamodex is a nonsteroidal anti-estrogen tablet that contains Tamoxifen Citrate, primarily used as an anti-cancer medication. It works by blocking the effects of the female hormone estrogen, which can promote breast cancer development. Tamodex is prescribed as an oral treatment for both women and men with breast tumors that rely on estrogen for growth and survival. Additionally, it is recommended for women at a higher risk of developing breast cancer to significantly decrease their chances of contracting the disease. Tamodex is also advised as post-treatment therapy following surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy to prevent cancer cell spread and minimize tumor recurrence.

Use Tamodex strictly as prescribed by your physician. Your physician may determine the appropriate dosage based on whether Tamodex is being used for treatment or prevention of breast cancer, the cancer stage, body weight, any other health conditions, and current medications. Tamoxifen Citrate should be taken once or twice daily with a glass of water, preferably after meals to prevent indigestion. It's important to establish a routine to take Tamodex at the same time each day to maximize the drug's effectiveness.
