It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.

Tamoxifen is the oldest and most-prescribed selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM). Tamoxifen is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat:
women and men diagnosed with hormone-receptor-positive, early-stage breast cancer after surgery (or possibly chemotherapy and radiation) to reduce the risk of the cancer coming back (recurring)
women and men diagnosed with advanced-stage or metastatic hormone-receptor-positive disease
Tamoxifen also is used to:
reduce breast cancer risk in women who haven’t been diagnosed but are at higher-than-average risk for the disease
Tamoxifen won’t work on hormone-receptor-negative breast cancer.
Tamoxifen is available in two forms: a pill taken once a day (brand name: Nolvadex) or a liquid form (brand name: Soltamox). If you dislike pills or you’re having trouble swallowing tamoxifen pills, Soltamox can help make it easier to stay on your treatment plan.
