NOLVADEX 20mg – DRAGON PHARMA
Description:
Nolvadex is a medication commonly used in the treatment and prevention of breast cancer. Each pack contains 100 tablets, with each tablet containing 20 milligrams (mg) of the active substance tamoxifen citrate.
Indications:
Nolvadex is indicated for:
- Breast cancer treatment: It is used to treat breast cancer in both premenopausal and postmenopausal women. Nolvadex is effective in reducing the risk of recurrence and slowing down the progression of the disease.
- Breast cancer prevention: Nolvadex can also be used to prevent the development of breast cancer in women at high risk, such as those with a family history of the disease or certain genetic mutations.
Mechanism of Action:
Tamoxifen citrate, the active ingredient in Nolvadex, is a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM). It works by binding to estrogen receptors in breast tissue, thereby blocking the effects of estrogen on cancer cell growth. This helps prevent the growth and spread of estrogen-sensitive breast cancer cells.
Administration:
Nolvadex tablets are taken orally with or without food. The dosage and duration of treatment should be determined by a healthcare professional based on the patient’s medical condition, response to treatment, and individual needs.
Dosage:
The recommended dosage of Nolvadex for breast cancer treatment and prevention typically ranges from 20 mg to 40 mg taken once daily. The duration of treatment may vary depending on the stage of cancer, response to treatment, and other factors.
Side Effects:
Common side effects of Nolvadex may include:
- Hot flashes
- Vaginal discharge or bleeding
- Nausea
- Fatigue
- Mood swings
- Headache
- Dizziness
- Skin rash
Contraindications:
Nolvadex is contraindicated in individuals with a known hypersensitivity to tamoxifen citrate or any of the ingredients in the formulation. It should not be used in pregnant or breastfeeding women, individuals with a history of blood clots or stroke, or those taking certain medications such as blood thinners.
Storage:
Nolvadex should be stored at room temperature (20°C to 25°C) in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
Prescription Required:
