Soltamox (Tamoxifen citrate) Information

Soltamox, which contains the active ingredient tamoxifen citrate, is a Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulator (SERM). It is used to treat breast cancer that is "hormone-receptor-positive," meaning the cancer uses estrogen to grow. It is prescribed to treat advanced breast cancer in both women and men, as well as to reduce the risk of cancer returning after surgery and radiation. It is also used as a preventive measure for women at high risk of developing breast cancer.

Soltamox is a liquid oral solution, making it an important option for patients who have difficulty swallowing pills. It is typically taken once or twice daily. To ensure it works effectively, take it at the same time every day to maintain steady levels in the body.

The mechanism of action of tamoxifen involves blocking the effects of estrogen in breast tissue. In hormone-sensitive breast cancers, estrogen binds to receptors on cancer cells, signalling them to multiply. By binding to these same receptors first, Soltamox prevents estrogen from connecting to the cells. This effectively starves the cancer cells of the "fuel" they need, causing the tumour to shrink or stop growing.
