Breast Cancer Medications by Pharmacy |
NOLVADEX® (tamoxifen citrate) Tablets work by
blocking estrogen. In breast tissue, NOLVADEX is an antiestrogen.
An antiestrogen or estrogen blocker works by blocking estrogen in
breast tissue. While estrogen may not actually cause breast
cancer, it may stimulate its growth, feeding the cancer. With
estrogen blocked, the cancer cells that need it may not grow at
all. In other words, antiestrogens may keep cancer from developing
in your breast.
NOLVADEX was initially developed to treat advanced breast cancer.
NOLVADEX has been successfully helping save the lives of millions
of women with breast cancer for over 20 years.
Today, NOLVADEX is used to treat breast cancer. Nolvadex is not
indicated for the treatment of premenopausal, node positive
patients. Because it can delay or stop the growth of breast cancer
cells, it’s also an option for the management of ductal carcinoma
in situ (DCIS) following surgery and radiation.
