Patient summary
Tamoxifen 10mg and 20mg tablets, used in the management of oestrogen receptor positive breast cancer. A SERM that occupies the receptor in breast tissue.
Mechanism of action
Nolvadex functions by binding to the oestrogen receptors in breast tissue. This prevents oestrogen from attaching, which can slow or stop the growth of breast cancer cells that rely on this hormone to develop.
Storage instructions
Store at room temperature, keep in original packaging, away from moisture and direct light.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Pregnancy: Must not be used during pregnancy as it may cause fetal harm. Breastfeeding: Must not be used while breastfeeding as the drug is excreted into milk.
Nolvadex is a tablet containing tamoxifen, a selective oestrogen receptor modulator. It comes in 10mg and 20mg strengths and is used in the management of oestrogen receptor positive breast cancer, including metastatic disease in women and men and node-positive disease after mastectomy or segmental mastectomy with axillary dissection and breast irradiation. AstraZeneca is the originator company.
Tamoxifen occupies oestrogen receptors in breast tissue, which stops oestrogen from attaching and can slow or stop the growth of cancer cells that depend on the hormone. Effects are usually seen within 2 to 4 weeks, and the medicine is taken daily. For women with ductal carcinoma in situ or at high risk of breast cancer, serious and life-threatening events reported in the risk-reduction setting include uterine malignancies, stroke and pulmonary embolism; some of these were fatal.
