Moxifen 10 mg Tablet

Moxifen 10 mg Tablet is an oral anti-cancer medicine that contains tamoxifen 10 mg in each tablet. This pack of Moxifen 10 mg Tablet from VHB Life Sciences is supplied as a strip/box of 10 packs, and each tablet delivers a precise 10 mg dose of the active ingredient. Tamoxifen is a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) used mainly for hormone receptor-positive breast cancer, and it may also be used to lower the risk of breast cancer coming back or to reduce risk in some people at high risk.

How it works: Tamoxifen in Moxifen 10 mg Tablet works by attaching to estrogen receptors and blocking estrogen from stimulating certain breast cancer cells. Because it is a tablet taken by mouth, it provides a convenient way to keep a steady amount of tamoxifen in the body over time.

Moxifen 10 mg Tablet is a lower-strength tablet compared with Moxifen 20 mg Tablet, so it is often chosen when a doctor wants more flexible dose adjustment or a smaller step in dosing. The 10 mg strength does not work faster than the 20 mg tablet, but it can make it easier for a clinician to tailor the total daily dose to the person’s treatment plan.

Each Moxifen 10 mg Tablet provides 10 mg of tamoxifen, and the total dose is set by your doctor based on your condition, treatment goal, and response.
