About Fulvestrant Mylan
Fulvestrant Mylan is an anti-oestrogen medicine.
What it is used for
Fulvestrant Mylan is used to treat advanced or metastatic breast cancer in postmenopausal women with oestrogen-receptor positive cancer who have not previously had hormonal treatment, or whose cancer had come back after treatment with another anti-oestrogen.
How it is used
Fulvestrant Mylan can only be obtained with a prescription and is available as a solution for injection in prefilled syringes (250 mg). The recommended dose is 500 mg given once a month, with an additional 500-mg dose given two weeks after the first dose. The dose is given as two injections, each given into the muscle of one buttock over one to two minutes.
How it works
Most types of breast cancer are stimulated to grow when the hormone oestrogen attaches to targets (receptors) on cancer cells. The active substance in Fulvestrant Mylan, fulvestrant, is an anti-oestrogen. It blocks the receptors for oestrogen on cells and causes the number of oestrogen receptors to fall. As a result, the cancer cells are not stimulated to grow by oestrogen and this slows down the growth of the tumour.
