What is Cytotam?
Cytotam containing the active ingredient tamoxifen citrate is an anti-oestrogen hormone antagonist type of medication. The tablets work by interfering with the effects of estrogen in the breast tissue. It can be used alone or in combination with surgery, radiation or chemotherapy to treat metastatic breast cancer. Women with a high risk of cancer, such as those with a family history of breast cancer may also use the medication to lower the chance of developing breast cancer.

How is Cytotam used?
Cytotam is usually taken 1 to 2 times per day for up to 5 years or as directed by a doctor. The tablets can be taken with or without food but should be taken with a nonalcoholic drink. Contact a doctor for the correct dosage and length of treatment as it will depend on the patient's condition and their response to the treatment. The medication should be taken whole and not crushed, chewed or split.
