Nolvadex 10mg Tablet 10's is an effective treatment option for managing estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer and reducing the risk of recurrence. Through its action as a selective estrogen receptor modulator, Tamoxifen works by inhibiting estrogen's effects on breast tissue, thereby limiting the growth of hormone-dependent tumors.
Nolvadex 10mg Tablet 10's contains Tamoxifen Citrate 10mg as its active ingredient. Tamoxifen Citrate is a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) that is commonly used in the treatment of estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer in both men and women. It works by binding to estrogen receptors, thereby blocking the effects of estrogen on breast tissue, which can slow or stop the growth of estrogen-dependent tumors.
