Tamtero 10 MG Tablet 10 contains tamoxifen (10 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Selective Oestrogen Receptor Modulation: Tamoxifen selectively binds to oestrogen receptors in different tissues, working differently depending on the tissue type.

• Oestrogen Antagonist in Breast Tissue: In breast tissue, tamoxifen blocks oestrogen from attaching to receptors, preventing the hormone's growth-promoting effects on cancer cells.

• Growth Inhibition: By blocking oestrogen's action in breast tissue, tamoxifen helps stop the growth and spread of oestrogen-dependent tumour cells.

• Oestrogen Agonist in Other Tissues: Unlike its blocking action in breast tissue, tamoxifen mimics oestrogen's beneficial effects in other areas like the bones, helping maintain bone density.

• Store this tablet at room temperature.

• Keep the medicine in its original packaging in a tightly closed container.

• Protect from light and moisture.

• Store in a dry place away from children's reach.

• Do not use the medicine after its expiry date.

• Calcium-rich foods: Include dairy products, leafy greens, and fortified foods in your diet to help maintain bone health, as tamoxifen may affect bone density in some patients with oestrogen-positive breast cancer.

• Regular exercise: Engage in moderate physical activity like walking or swimming for 30 minutes most days to help reduce fatigue, a common side effect when managing breast cancer with this medicine.
