Buy Tamoxifen Online
Tamoxifen is probably one of the best-known anti-cancer drugs in the world, and is used in particular for treating breast cancer. The drug was discovered some 30 years ago by ICI, now known as AstraZeneca .It is known by various brand names, including Nolvadex, Istubal, and Valodex. However, it is still widely known by its generic name of Tamoxifen.
Patients who buy Tamoxifen will have received a prescription from their doctor, and this will detail the strength of the oral tablet to be taken and the times it should be swallowed. Tamoxifen usually comes in tablet form in different strengths, 10mg, 20mg and 40mg. Usually they are taken with a glass of water and swallowed whole. However, for those who may have difficulty in swallowing, Tamoxifen can be found as a sugar-free syrup. Tamoxifen tablets often come in packs of 30. Different sizes are available online.
Tamoxifen works in the form of an anti-estrogen drug. Many breast cancers are reliant on estrogen, the female sex hormone, to grow. These breast cancers are called ‘estrogen-receptor positive’, as breast cancer cells that are hormone-sensitive have proteins known as receptors to which the sex hormones attach. Thus estrogen that comes into receptor contact stimulates the cancerous cells too, and so the tumor grows.
Estrogen can be blocked from reaching the cancerous cells by Tamoxifen because it will fit in to the estrogen receptors. Either the growth of the cancer is inhibited, thus growing more slowly, or it stops growing completely.
Tamoxifen may be prescribed by a doctor for patients who have undergone surgery for breast cancer. If this was in its early stage then it may lower the risk of a return of the cancer. The drug can also be used on occasions to reduce a large breast cancer prior to surgery.
Patients may be prescribed Tamoxifen for five years, alternatively if prescribed for two or three years then they may have their prescription changed to a different kind of hormone therapy, called an aromotase inhibitor. Tamoxifen may be used if a cancer has returned or spread to different parts of the body in order to control its spread.
Side Effects
As with any medicine, patients may experience various side effects when taking Tamoxifen, though as every individual is different, some may suffer little or no reaction to the drug. It is rare that side effects are severe so that a patient has to stop taking Tamoxifen. The doctor treating the patient will advise as to the best course of action should this be the case.
Common side effects of Tamoxifen are hot flushes and sweats that may lessen gradually over a few months. Some people find that these effects remain during the whole period of taking Tamoxifen, and suggestions to help reduce these symptoms include reducing the intake of fluids such as coffee, tea and alcohol, or cutting them out altogether. Avoiding or cutting down nicotine intake may also be helpful.
Other fairly common effects include nausea and indigestion, weight gain, a change in periods for women who have not reached the menopause, and leg cramps. Any of these effects should be discussed with a doctor, as should any other effects that appear to be related to taking the drug.
