Toremifene is a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) used to treat breast cancer in postmenopausal women. It works by blocking the effects of estrogen in the body, which can slow the growth of certain types of breast cancer cells. Toremifene is typically used in combination with other drugs, such as aromatase inhibitors, to treat advanced breast cancer. It is also used to reduce the risk of breast cancer recurrence in postmenopausal women who have already been treated for the disease. Toremifene is available in both oral and injectable forms, and is typically taken once or twice daily. Common side effects of toremifene include hot flashes, nausea, and fatigue. More serious side effects may include an increased risk of blood clots and stroke. Toremifene is marketed by several pharmaceutical companies, including Novartis, Teva Pharmaceuticals, and Mylan. It is also available in generic form. Show Less Read more
