Tamilong 20mg Tablet 10x10, Packaging Type : Blister

Tamilong-20 Tablet is used to treat breast cancer. It contains Tamoxifen which works by blocking the effects of oestrogen that is required for the cancer cells to grow. In some cases, this medicine may cause side effects such as hot flashes, headache, tiredness, nausea, and numbness or tingling sensation.

Tamoxifen is used to treat breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body in men and women. It is used to treat early breast cancer in women who have already been treated with surgery, radiation, and/or chemotherapy.

Tamilong 20mg Tablet contains Tamoxifen Citrate as its active ingredient. It is primarily used in the treatment and prevention of breast cancer.
