Administration
May be taken with or without food.
Adult Dose
Oral Breast Cancer Treatment 20 mg daily as a single or in 2 divided doses. Max: 40 mg daily.

... Show moreContraindication
History of DVT or pulmonary embolism. Pregnancy and lactation. Concomitant coumarin-type anticoagulant therapy.
Mode of Action
Tamoxifen, a triphenylethylene derivative, produces a nuclear complex by competitively binding to oestrogen receptors on tumours and other tissue targets thus, decreasing DNA synthesis and inhibiting oestrogen effect. It is only cytostatic rather than cytotoxic due to accumulation of cell in G0 and G1 phases.
Precaution
Patient w/ leucopenia and thrombocytopenia, hyperlipidaemias. Monitoring Parameters Perform periodic CBC (e.g. platelet counts) and LFTs. Routine gynaecological monitoring and any abnormal symptoms (e.g. abnormal vag bleeding or discharge, pelvic pain, menstrual irregularities).
Lactation: not known if excreted in breast milk, do not nurse

Potentially Fatal: Blood dyscrasias, cholestasis, hepatitis, hypercalcaemia in patients with bone metastasis, thromboembolic events. Increased risk of endometrial cancer and uterine sarcoma.
Interaction
Increases dopaminergic effect of bromocriptine. Increased risk of thromboembolic events w/ cytotoxic drugs. Increased risk of bleeding w/ platelet aggregation inhibitors. May mutually reduce effects w/ hormone preparations particularly oestrogens (e.g. OCs). Reduced plasma levels w/ CYP3A4 inducers (e.g rifampicin) and CYP2D6 inhibitors. Increased plasma levels w/ CYP3A4 inhibitors.
Potentially Fatal: Significant increase in anticoagulant effect w/ coumarin-type anticoagulants (e.g. warfarin).
