Nolvadex, also known as tamoxifen, is a non-steroidal antiestrogen that inhibits competitive estrogen receptors in target organs and tumors within them. Its mechanism of action has not been fully investigated, although it is known that a complex of Nolvadex with the receptor and cofactor is formed and subsequently transported to the cell nucleus, thereby preventing hypertrophy of cells dependent on estrogen regulation. The effect of the medication can last for several weeks after a single dose. Nolvadex can induce ovulation in women and stimulate the production of gonadotropic hormones by the pituitary gland. In men with oligospermia, it increases the concentration of luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone, testosterone, and estrogen in the blood serum. Nolvadex is used for the treatment of breast cancer in women and men (especially after castration) and also when it has metastasized to other parts of the body, kidney cancer, melanomas and sarcomas of the soft tissues with estrogen receptors, and ovarian cancer.
