Precautionary measures

In the process of treatment, it is necessary to control the number of leukocytes, platelets, calcium levels, blood coagulation parameters.

Antacids and secretolytics should not be administered simultaneously with tamoxifen, but with an interval of 2 hours. Estrogens weaken the effect of tamoxifen, and progestogens enhance. Cytostatics increase the risk of thrombosis. The use of the drug in combination with coumarin-type anticoagulants may cause a significant increase in the anticoagulant effect.
