Precautions

The use of tamoxifen for reduction of breast cancer risk has been associated with reduced bone density in premenopausal women. Whether this may result in an increased risk of fracture is not known. Pre-menopausal women taking tamoxifen for this reason should be advised regarding measures to maintain bone health.

Warning 1

Severe cutaneous adverse reactions (SCARs) including Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), which can be life-threatening or fatal, have been reported in association with tamoxifen treatment. At the time of prescription patients should be advised of the signs and symptoms and monitored closely for skin reactions. If signs and symptoms suggestive of these reactions appear, tamoxifen should be withdrawn immediately and an alternative treatment considered (as appropriate).

Warning 2

In patients with hereditary angioedema, tamoxifen may induce or exacerbate symptoms of angioedema.

Warning 3

If any patient presents with VTE, tamoxifen should be stopped immediately and appropriate anti-thrombosis measures initiated. In patients being treated for infertility, tamoxifen should not be re-started unless there is a compelling alternative explanation for their thrombotic event. In patients receiving tamoxifen for breast cancer, the decision to re-start tamoxifen should be made with respect to the overall risk for the patient. In selected patients with breast cancer, the continued use of tamoxifen with prophylactic anticoagulation may be justified.
