Tillomed Tamoxifen 20mg 30 Tablets: Breast Cancer Treatment
Tillomed Tamoxifen 20mg is a prescription-only medication used primarily to treat hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. It is suitable for both pre-menopausal and post-menopausal women. It is also used to reduce the risk of breast cancer in women with a high risk of developing the disease.
How Tillomed Tamoxifen Works
Tillomed Tamoxifen contains Tamoxifen Citrate, which belongs to a group of medicines called Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs). It works by blocking the effect of estrogen on breast cancer cells. Since some breast cancers need estrogen to grow, blocking these receptors helps slow down or stop the growth of the cancer cells.
Dosage and Administration
This medication must be taken exactly as directed by your oncologist or healthcare provider. The standard dosage for treating breast cancer is usually 20mg per day.
- Swallow the tablets whole with water.
- Take it at the same time every day to maintain a steady level in your blood.
- Do not stop taking the medication without consulting your doctor, even if you feel better.
Common Side Effects
Like all medicines, Tillomed Tamoxifen can cause side effects, though not everyone gets them. Common side effects include:
- Hot flashes
- Vaginal discharge or bleeding
- Menstrual irregularities
- Nausea or fatigue
If you notice any unusual leg swelling, shortness of breath, or sudden changes in your vision, seek medical attention immediately.
