Tamoxilon 10 mg Tablet

Tamoxilon 10 mg Tablet is a prescription anticancer medicine containing tamoxifen 10 mg in each tablet, supplied in a strip/box of 10 packs by Celon Laboratories. It belongs to the selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) class and is used in hormone-sensitive breast cancer and related risk-reduction or treatment plans when a doctor prescribes it. Tamoxilon 10 mg Tablet is an oral tablet, so it is taken by mouth rather than injected or infused. The exact role of Tamoxilon 10 mg Tablet depends on the cancer type, stage, and your treatment plan.

How it works: Tamoxifen in Tamoxilon 10 mg Tablet blocks estrogen from attaching to certain receptors, especially in breast tissue. By reducing estrogen signaling, the tablet can slow or stop the growth of some hormone-responsive cancer cells.

Tamoxilon 10 mg Tablet is the lower-strength sibling of Tamoxilon 20 mg Tablet, which allows a doctor to tailor the total daily dose more precisely. This 10 mg tablet may be chosen when a patient needs smaller dose adjustments, is sensitive to side effects, or is taking a split dose schedule rather than a single larger tablet. It is not a starter medicine for everyone; the right strength and schedule depend on the condition being treated and the prescriber’s plan.

• Hormone receptor-positive breast cancer treatment
• Breast cancer recurrence reduction
• Risk reduction in selected high-risk patients
• As part of a doctor-directed cancer treatment plan

• Swallow Tamoxilon 10 mg Tablet whole with a glass of water.
• Take it exactly on the schedule your doctor gives you, even if you feel well.
• You may take it with or without food unless your prescriber tells you otherwise.
• Try to take the tablet at the same time each day to help you remember.
• Do not crush, chew, or split the tablet unless your pharmacist or doctor says it is okay.
• If you miss a dose, follow your prescription directions; do not double up unless instructed.

Each Tamoxilon 10 mg Tablet provides 10 mg of tamoxifen per tablet, so the total daily amount depends on how many tablets your doctor prescribes. This strength may be taken once or twice daily in some treatment plans, but the exact frequency is individualized and the doctor decides the dose. The maximum daily amount is not the same for every patient, so do not increase the number of tablets on your own.

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