Tamoxifen (tamoxifen citrate) is a drug classified as an anti-estrogen. Drugs in this group are used for treating breast cancer, as well as preventing the disease in women in high risk group. It’s not known exactly how tamoxifen citrate works, but it may block receptors on the surface of cells, that way making sure the estrogens (hormones related to the development of cancer) do not bind to the cell activating it and promoting the growth of a tumor.
