Tamilong 20 mg is a prescription medication that contains Tamoxifen Citrate, a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) used for the treatment and prevention of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer in both pre- and postmenopausal women, as well as in men. It is also used to reduce the risk of breast cancer in individuals with a high familial or genetic risk (such as BRCA mutation carriers).
Tamoxifen works by blocking estrogen receptors in breast tissue, preventing estrogen from binding and stimulating tumor growth. Tamilong is widely used as adjuvant therapy after surgery, in metastatic breast cancer.
