Common use
Tamoxifen blocks the actions of estrogen, a female hormone. Certain types of breast cancer require estrogen to grow. Tamoxifen is used to treat some types of breast cancer in men and women. Tamoxifen is also used to lower a woman's chance of developing breast cancer if she has a high risk (such as a family history of breast cancer).
Dosage and direction
Take tamoxifen exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Take with or without food. You may need to keep using this medicine for 5 to 10 years.
Precautions
To make sure tamoxifen is safe for you, tell your doctor if you have: a stroke or blood clot; liver disease; high cholesterol or triglycerides (a type of fat in the blood); cataracts; chemotherapy; or if you also use anastrozole or letrozole.
Taking tamoxifen may increase your risk of uterine cancer, liver cancer, stroke, or a blood clot in the lung. Talk with your doctor about your own risks.
Contraindications
You should not use tamoxifen if you are allergic to it.
Tamoxifen may harm an unborn baby. You may need a pregnancy test to make sure you are not pregnant. Tell your doctor if you become pregnant.
