Mechanism of Action

Tamoxifen works by binding to estrogen receptors, particularly in breast tissue, where it blocks the effects of estrogen. This helps slow or stop the growth of estrogen-dependent cancer cells.

Additionally, in the hypothalamus, Tamoxifen reduces estrogen feedback inhibition, leading to increased secretion of:

• Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)
• Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)
• Luteinizing hormone (LH)

This hormonal stimulation supports testosterone production and reproductive function.
