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.

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.
