Blastofen 10 mg Tablet

Blastofen 10 mg Tablet is a prescription anti-cancer medicine containing tamoxifen 10 mg in each tablet. Each pack contains 10 tablets, and the active ingredient belongs to the selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) class. Blastofen 10 mg Tablet is used to treat or help prevent hormone receptor-positive breast cancer in adults, and it may also be prescribed for certain other doctor-directed breast cancer situations. Because it affects estrogen signaling, it is taken only under a clinician’s supervision.

How it works: Tamoxifen works by blocking estrogen from attaching to receptors in breast tissue, which can slow or stop the growth of hormone-sensitive cancer cells. As a tablet, Blastofen 10 mg Tablet delivers a measured oral dose that your body absorbs after swallowing.

Blastofen 10 mg Tablet is the lower sibling strength compared with Blastofen 20 mg Tablet, so it is often chosen when a doctor wants smaller, more adjustable doses or a step-up approach. It is not a faster-acting version; the difference is mainly the amount of tamoxifen in each tablet, which can help tailor treatment more precisely for the patient.

• Hormone receptor-positive breast cancer treatment
• Breast cancer recurrence reduction

• Doctor-directed adjuvant therapy after surgery or other treatment
