Tamoxifen Citrate
Tamoxifen citrate is a nonsteroidal selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) widely used in treating hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. It functions by binding to estrogen receptors on cancer cells, blocking estrogen’s effects, thus hindering cancer growth. Tamoxifen is also used preventively in high-risk individuals to reduce breast cancer risk. In addition, its ability to normalize the ovulatory cycle allows its use in treating infertility. Despite these benefits, it can cause side effects like an increased risk of endometrial cancer, blood clots, hot flashes, and vaginal discharge.
