Tamoxifen, a triphenylethylene derivative, produces a nuclear complex by competitively binding to oestrogen receptors on tumours and other tissue targets thus, decreasing DNA synthesis and inhibiting oestrogen effect. It is only cytostatic rather than cytotoxic due to accumulation of cell in G0 and G1 phases.

Drug Interactions ::

Aminoglutethimide reduces plasma-tamoxifen concentration. Potentially Fatal: Concurrent use increased anticoagulant effect of warfarin; increased risk of thromboembolic events with other cytotoxic drugs.
