    Tamoxifen is indeed an anti-estrogen agent that we have used for about thirty years to help people with breast cancer. Very useful non-chemotherapy drug.

    Also known as Tamoxifen.

    Yes, it is to help prevent recurrence in pre-menopausal women with hormone receptive breast cancer.

    Hello:
    Speed dog is right tamoxifen is a anti estrogen medication to fight
    breast cancer. Novadex is generic name for tamoxifen.
    The generic form has only been out a few years. It cost a lot less
    than the tamoxifen. So if your onicologest has given you a
    perscription for a generic that is the same as the original than
    he cares about your finances.
    Best of health and God speed on getting better.

    I have never taken Novadex I was alergic to the tamoxifen so
    sorry that is all the information I have.
