Nolvadex (active ingredient: tamoxifen) is a prescription medication used to treat and help reduce the risk of certain types of breast cancer. It belongs to a class of medications called selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs).
Tamoxifen works by blocking the effects of estrogen in breast tissue. Since some breast cancer cells need estrogen to grow, blocking estrogen can help slow or stop the growth of estrogen-sensitive cancer cells.
Nolvadex is used to treat estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer, which means the cancer cells grow in response to estrogen. It may be used in both premenopausal and postmenopausal women, depending on the treatment plan.
Nolvadex may also be used to treat metastatic breast cancer in both women and men. Metastatic breast cancer means the cancer has spread beyond the breast to other parts of the body.
Nolvadex may be prescribed to reduce the risk of breast cancer in women who are considered at high risk of developing the disease. It may also help reduce the risk of cancer developing in the opposite breast, known as contralateral breast cancer, in certain patients with a history of breast cancer.
Nolvadex may be used in patients with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) after surgery and radiation therapy. DCIS is a non-invasive form of breast cancer in which abnormal cells are found inside the milk ducts.
In this setting, Nolvadex can help reduce the risk of developing invasive breast cancer.
Nolvadex works as a selective estrogen receptor modulator. In breast tissue, it blocks estrogen from attaching to estrogen receptors on breast cancer cells. This helps prevent estrogen from stimulating the growth of estrogen-dependent cancer cells.
Because Nolvadex affects hormone activity, it should be taken only as prescribed and monitored by a healthcare provider.
Nolvadex is taken by mouth as an oral tablet, exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. It may be taken with or without food, so you can take it with a meal if it causes stomach upset.
Tamoxifen is usually taken once or twice daily, depending on your prescribed dose and treatment plan. Try to take it at the same time each day to help keep a steady amount of medication in your body and make it easier to remember.
Read the directions on your prescription label and follow them exactly. If you are unsure how or when to take Nolvadex, ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist for clarification.
Do not take more or less than prescribed, and do not take it more often than directed. Taking extra medication will not make it work better and may increase the risk of side effects.
The recommended dose of tamoxifen depends on the condition being treated, your response to therapy, and your healthcare provider’s treatment goals.
For metastatic breast cancer in women and men, the usual dose is 20 mg to 40 mg by mouth daily. If the total daily dose is greater than 20 mg, it is usually divided into two doses, such as one dose in the morning and one dose in the evening.
For some breast cancer treatment or risk-reduction plans, tamoxifen may be taken for several years. Your healthcare provider will determine how long you should continue treatment based on your diagnosis, cancer risk, response to medication, and overall health.
Nolvadex works best when taken consistently. Continue taking it every day as prescribed, even if you feel well. Breast cancer treatment and prevention medications may not cause noticeable day-to-day effects, but they can still be working in the body.
Do not stop taking Nolvadex without speaking with your healthcare provider. If treatment needs to be changed or stopped, your provider will guide you based on your condition and treatment plan.
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and take your next dose at the usual time. Do not take two doses at the same time to make up for a missed dose.
If you miss several doses or are unsure what to do, contact your healthcare provider or pharmacist for advice.
Nolvadex (Tamoxifen) is available in the following forms and strength:
Before taking Nolvadex, tell your healthcare provider and pharmacist about your medical history, allergies, and all medications or supplements you are taking. This helps your healthcare team determine whether tamoxifen is safe and appropriate for you.
Tell your healthcare provider if you are allergic to tamoxifen or any other medications. Tamoxifen may contain inactive ingredients that can cause allergic reactions or other problems in some people.
Seek medical help right away if you develop symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, such as rash, itching, swelling of the face or throat, severe dizziness, or trouble breathing.
Before starting tamoxifen, tell your healthcare provider if you currently have high cholesterol or have had high cholesterol in the past. Your provider may monitor your cholesterol levels during treatment, especially if you have other risk factors for heart or blood vessel problems.
Tell your healthcare provider if you are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed while taking tamoxifen. Tamoxifen may pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. Your healthcare provider may advise you to stop breastfeeding or may recommend a different treatment option.
Tamoxifen can interact with certain medications, and some drugs may reduce how well tamoxifen works. Tell your healthcare provider about all prescription medications, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, supplements, and herbal products you take before starting treatment.
Do not start, stop, or change the dose of any medication without first speaking with your healthcare provider.
Talk with your healthcare provider about how often you should perform breast self-exams, have clinical breast exams, and receive mammogram screenings. Regular monitoring is important during treatment.
Contact your healthcare provider right away if you notice a new breast lump, breast pain, nipple discharge, skin changes, or any other unusual breast changes.
Tamoxifen can cause side effects, and this is not a complete list of all possible risks. Report any unusual or persistent symptoms to your healthcare provider so they can evaluate whether your treatment needs to be adjusted.
Many people take Nolvadex or another hormone therapy for at least 5 years. In some cases, treatment may continue for up to 10 years, depending on the type of breast cancer, cancer stage, recurrence risk, menopausal status, side effects, and your healthcare provider’s treatment plan. Do not stop Nolvadex early without speaking with your healthcare provider, even if you feel well.
If you miss a dose of Nolvadex, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take two doses at the same time to make up for a missed dose. If you miss multiple doses or are unsure what to do, contact your healthcare provider or pharmacist.
Yes. Nolvadex can interact with several medications, including certain antidepressants, blood thinners, and other prescription or over-the-counter medicines. Some medications may increase side effects, while others may reduce how well Nolvadex works. Before starting Nolvadex, tell your healthcare provider and pharmacist about all medications, vitamins, supplements, and herbal products you take.
