Mamofen 10 mg Tablet

Mamofen 10 mg Tablet is an oral prescription medicine that contains 10 mg of tamoxifen in each tablet. It belongs to the anti-estrogen class of cancer medicines and is used in the treatment and prevention of certain hormone receptor-positive breast cancers. Mamofen 10 mg Tablet may also be used for other doctor-directed breast cancer-related uses when tamoxifen is appropriate. This specific 10 mg tablet is a lower-strength tablet, which can help a clinician fine-tune the total daily dose more precisely.

How it works: Tamoxifen works by blocking estrogen from attaching to estrogen receptors in breast tissue, which can slow or stop the growth of hormone-sensitive cancer cells. As a tablet, Mamofen 10 mg Tablet is swallowed and absorbed through the digestive system to deliver tamoxifen into the body.

Mamofen 10 mg Tablet is the lower-strength option compared with Mamofen 20 mg Tablet, so it is often chosen when a doctor wants smaller dose adjustments or a divided daily regimen. Because tamoxifen dosing is individualized, this strength may suit patients who need a more flexible schedule or a gradual change in total daily amount rather than a single higher-dose tablet.

• Hormone receptor-positive breast cancer treatment
• Breast cancer recurrence reduction
• Breast cancer risk reduction in selected patients
• Doctor-directed therapy for certain breast tissue conditions

• Swallow Mamofen 10 mg Tablet whole with water; do not crush, chew, or split unless your doctor or pharmacist says it is acceptable.
• Take it at the same time each day to help you remember doses.
• It can be taken with or without food if your prescriber does not give different instructions.
• If your doctor prescribes more than one 10 mg tablet per day, follow that exact schedule rather than changing the dose yourself.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up.
• Use the full pack as directed, even if you feel well, because tamoxifen is often taken for a long time.

Each Mamofen 10 mg Tablet provides 10 mg of tamoxifen. The number of tablets taken per day depends on your diagnosis and your doctor’s plan; some patients take one tablet once or twice daily, while others may need a different schedule, so the total daily dose is individualized and should not be changed on your own. The maximum daily amount is determined by the prescriber based on your condition, response, and side effects.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.

• Tell your doctor and pharmacist about all medicines and supplements, including antidepressants, because some can reduce tamoxifen activation.
