Product Profile: Tamofar 20mg (Tamoxifen Citrate Tablets) Tamofar 20mg contains Tamoxifen, a Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulator (SERM). It is a foundational medication in the treatment and prevention of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer, acting as a competitive antagonist of estrogen receptors in breast tissue. 1. Clinical Indications & Usage Breast Cancer Treatment: Indicated for the adjuvant treatment of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer in women (both pre- and postmenopausal) to reduce the risk of recurrence. It is also used in the treatment of metastatic breast cancer. Breast Cancer Prevention: Prescribed to reduce the risk of invasive breast cancer in women at high risk. Ductal Carcinoma in Situ (DCIS): Used to reduce the risk of invasive breast cancer following surgery and radiation for DCIS. 2. Mechanism of Action Tamoxifen functions through a tissue-specific modulation of estrogen receptors: Antiestrogenic Effect (Breast): By binding to estrogen receptors in the breast, it prevents estrogen from stimulating the growth of cancer cells, thereby effectively inhibiting tumor proliferation in ER-positive cases. Estrogenic Effect (Other Tissues): In other tissues, such as the endometrium and bone, Tamoxifen can exhibit estrogen-like (agonist) effects, which necessitates clinical monitoring for specific long-term health markers. 3. Administration and Dosing Regimen: The standard adult dose is typically 20mg per day. Duration: Treatment is often long-term, frequently spanning 5 to 10 years, as directed by an oncologist. Administration: Tablets should be taken orally with water, generally at the same time each day, with or without food. ⚠️ Safety, Side Effects, and Monitoring Contraindications: Do not use if there is a history of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE), if the patient is currently on anticoagulant therapy, or if the patient is pregnant. Critical Warnings: Endometrial Risks: Because of its potential agonist effects on the uterus, long-term use can increase the risk of endometrial cancer. Patients should report any abnormal vaginal bleeding immediately. Thromboembolic Risk: There is an increased risk of stroke, DVT, and PE, particularly in patients with existing risk factors. Common Side Effects: Hot flashes, vaginal discharge or bleeding, mood swings, nausea, fatigue, and leg cramps. 📦 Storage, Stability & Commercial Packaging Storage: Store at controlled room temperature (20°C to 25°C / 68°F to 77°F).
