Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Tamoxifen 2.5 mg/ml Oral Solution is a liquid formulation designed for oral administration. It contains Tamoxifen, a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM), as its active ingredient. This medication is primarily used in the treatment of various conditions such as breast cancer, endometrial cancer, uterine sarcoma, infertility in women, and gynecomastia in men.

Tamoxifen functions by blocking the effects of estrogen in the body.

For men suffering from gynecomastia, a condition characterized by enlarged breasts due to hormonal imbalance, Tamoxifen can help reduce the size of the breasts by blocking the effects of estrogen on the breast tissue.

It is crucial to take Tamoxifen as directed by your healthcare provider and not to exceed the recommended duration of treatment. Tamoxifen may interact with other medications, hence it is important to inform your doctor about all the medications you are currently taking to avoid potential drug interactions.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
