What is Genox (Tamoxifen Citrate) used for?

Genox (Tamoxifen Citrate) is an oral medication prescribed to treat women with advanced or early stage breast cancer. The medication operates by suppressing the release and action of the hormone oestrogen which is associated with the growth of this type of cancer. This can allow other procedures to be performed to remove the tumours or eliminate any remaining cancer cells. It may also be used for the treatment of infertility caused by problems with ovulation. Your doctor may prescribe this medication for the treatment of other unlisted conditions, as well.

How should I use Genox (Tamoxifen Citrate)?

Always use Genox (Tamoxifen Citrate) according to your doctor`s instructions to get the most effective results from treatment.

These doses should be swallowed with a large glass of water and may be taken on an empty stomach, although a meal is recommended before use if you experience nausea. Do not alter the form of the tablets by splitting, chewing, or crushing them as this may destroy or alter the effects of their contents.
