Genox (Tamoxifen) 20mg

Genox (Tamoxifen) is a tablet that is often given to those with breast cancer. In some instances it is given as a type of prevention for men and women that may be at risk of breast cancer due to genetic factors. This medication reduces the amount of estrogen that is produced in the body. This helps to reduce the chances of the cancer cells increasing in the body.

Studies show that estrogen can allow breast cancer cells to grow and to multiple. This is why women develop this type of cancer more often than men. While men do have some estrogen in their bodies it is at very low levels. It is also approved by the FDA. While there are side effects that can occur with the use of Tamoxifen they are outweighed by the benefits that this medication can offer.

Since women rely on the hormone estrogen to help them stay balanced with many areas of the body, the reduction of it can create different scenarios for them. When a woman goes through menopause her body will reduce the amount of estrogen that it creates. Therefore, it is typical for a woman to experience some symptoms similar to menopause. Hot flashes, changes in sleep patterns, and mood changes are the most common.

The dose of Tamoxifen that someone should take will vary. It depends on their weight and the situation involving cancer cells or the prevention of them. When a person has taken it to fight breast cancer they may need to continue the regimen for up to 5 years. This will significantly reduce the chances of the cancer recurring.

Both men and women may experience a loss of libido, the risk of blood clots, and fatigue when they take this medication. However, it is often determined that the use of this mediation offers far more benefits than what a person may experience in terms of side effects.
