What are Mamofen 20 mg Tablets?

Mamofen 20 mg Tablet is a hormone therapy medicine primarily used in the treatment and prevention of hormone receptor–positive breast cancer.

It contains Tamoxifen, an anti-estrogen agent that blocks the effects of estrogen in breast tissue.

Since certain types of breast cancer rely on estrogen to grow, reducing its action helps slow or stop the spread of cancer cells.

Mamofen 20 mg is also prescribed in some cases of female infertility related to ovulatory dysfunction.

The brand Mamofen is manufactured by Khandelwal Laboratories Pvt Ltd, and you can order it from Refillonlinepharmacy at the best price.

What are the Uses of Mamofen (Tamoxifen) 20 mg Tablet?

Doctors prescribe Mamofen 20 mg for:

• Treatment of hormone receptor–positive breast cancer
• Prevention of breast cancer in high-risk women
• Management of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS)
• Treatment of infertility due to ovulation disorders

How does Mamofen 20 mg Tablet work?

Mamofen 20 mg contains Tamoxifen, which selectively blocks estrogen receptors in breast tissue.

By preventing estrogen from attaching to these receptors, the medicine limits the growth signals that fuel certain breast cancers.

In infertility treatment, it may stimulate ovulation by influencing hormonal balance.

This dual action makes it effective in both oncology and select reproductive conditions.

Dosage of Mamofen 20 mg Tablets

Take Mamofen strictly according to your doctor’s prescription.

Swallow the tablet whole with water, without crushing or chewing it.

It may be taken with or without meals, preferably at the same time each day.

The duration of therapy depends on your condition; in breast cancer cases, treatment may continue for several years as advised by your oncologist.

This medicine should not be used during pregnancy due to the potential risk to the fetus.
