Usage
Mamofen 10 Tablet helps with breast cancer symptoms like lumps in the breast, bloody discharge from the nipple, and changes in the shape or feel of the breast.
It changes how the body makes hormones important for breast cancer to grow and spread in women before and after menopause.
It could also work with other hormones or directly on cancer to stop it from growing.
Working
Tamoxifen Tablet is a drug that is made from hormones.
It works by binding to Oestrogen receptors and blocking estrogen's effects in the breast tissue.
Estrogen is a natural female hormone.
This makes it take longer for breast cancer cells to grow and divide.
