Cyclofam Tablets 10mg (Tamoxifen Citrate)

TAMOXIFEN CITRATE 10MG TABLET contains Tamoxifen, which is an anti-oestrogen drug. It treats breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body in men and women. TAMOXIFEN CITRATE 10MG TABLET is also used to treat breast cancer in women who are earlier treated with surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. It effectively treats infertility caused by failure in the ovulation (produce and release) process in women. Some types of breast cancers need oestrogen (female sex hormone) to grow. TAMOXIFEN CITRATE 10MG TABLET blocks the effects of this oestrogen, thus helps in treating breast cancer. TAMOXIFEN CITRATE 10MG TABLET is also used to reduce the risk of occurrence of breast cancer in women due to age, personal and family medical history.
