About APO-TAMOX TAB 20MG

APO-TAMOX TAB 20MG is a medication used to treat and prevent breast cancer in women, particularly those with hormone receptor-positive tumors. It is also used to reduce the risk of breast cancer in high-risk women. This medication contains the active ingredient Tamoxifen Citrate, a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) that works by blocking the effects of estrogen in the body.

Key Benefits & Uses

• Treatment and prevention of breast cancer in women with hormone receptor-positive tumors
• Reduction of breast cancer risk in high-risk women
• Use in the treatment of metastatic breast cancer

Active Ingredient & Action

Tamoxifen Citrate, the active ingredient in APO-TAMOX TAB 20MG, works by binding to estrogen receptors in breast tissue, thereby blocking the effects of estrogen. This helps to slow or stop the growth of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer cells. Tamoxifen Citrate also has a dual effect on estrogen receptors, acting as an estrogen agonist in some tissues and an estrogen antagonist in others.
