Tamovac 20 Tablet 10 contains tamoxifen (20 mg), which works on the body in the following ways:

• Anti-oestrogenic action: Tamoxifen competitively binds to oestrogen receptors in breast tissue, preventing natural oestrogen from attaching to these receptors.

• Cancer cell growth inhibition: By blocking oestrogen from binding to receptors, it helps prevent the stimulation and growth of cancer cells that depend on oestrogen for their development.

• Selective modulation: It acts as a selective oestrogen receptor modulator (SERM), meaning it blocks oestrogen's effects in breast tissue while mimicking some of oestrogen's beneficial effects in other tissues.

• Hormone-receptor positive cancer management: It is particularly effective against breast cancers that test positive for hormone receptors, as these cancers rely on oestrogen to grow.

• Do not use after the expiry date printed on the package.

• Include calcium-rich foods in your diet (like dairy products, leafy greens, and fortified foods) to help maintain healthy calcium levels during your breast cancer management.

• Regular physical activity, such as brisk walking for 30 minutes daily, can help manage side effects like fluid retention that may occur while taking Tamovac 20 Tablet 10.
