Tomifen 10 mg Tablet

Tomifen 10 mg Tablet is an anti-cancer prescription medicine that contains 10 mg of tamoxifen in each tablet. It belongs to the selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) class and is used in the treatment and prevention of certain hormone-sensitive breast cancers. Tomifen 10 mg Tablet is a standard tablet strength that a doctor may include in a tailored cancer treatment plan based on the patient’s condition.

How it works: Tomifen 10 mg Tablet works by blocking estrogen from attaching to receptors in some breast cancer cells, which can slow or stop their growth. By taking the medicine as a tablet, the tamoxifen is absorbed through the digestive tract and then acts throughout the body on estrogen-sensitive tissue.

Tomifen 10 mg Tablet is a lower-strength tablet that helps doctors fine-tune tamoxifen dosing rather than jumping straight to a higher amount. Because it is a tablet, it is suited for patients who can swallow oral medicine and who need a flexible dose adjustment as part of their prescribed schedule.

• Treatment of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer
• Reduction of breast cancer recurrence risk
• Prevention of breast cancer in selected high-risk patients
• Management of some breast cancer-related hormone therapy plans

• Swallow Tomifen 10 mg Tablet whole with a glass of water unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
• Take it exactly on the schedule prescribed by your doctor; do not change the dose on your own.
• You may take the tablet with or without food.
• Try to take it at the same time each day to help you remember.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up.
• Do not crush or chew the tablet unless your prescriber or pharmacist specifically says it is okay.

Each Tomifen 10 mg Tablet provides 10 mg of tamoxifen per tablet, and the total daily amount depends on the treatment plan your doctor chooses. The tablet may be taken once daily or in divided doses for some regimens, with the doctor deciding the exact schedule and the maximum daily dose based on the condition being treated. Use only the dose prescribed for you, because tamoxifen dosing is individualized and higher daily amounts are not appropriate for everyone.

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