Nolvadex is an efficient oral prescription medication for the treatment of cancer. It is supposed to be taken for a long period of time for the patient to benefit most. It is prescribed in cases when cancer spreads to other parts of the body, as well as to patients after surgery or radiation therapy. Nolvadex comes in the form of liquid and tablets. If you are going to take the liquid form make sure you have a special cup for measuring your dosage as precisely as possible. Taking too much or too little can affect the efficiency of the treatment. If you tend to forget to take your medicine regularly, setting a certain schedule might help – think about some time every day when you will be able to take Nolvadex. Taking this medicine at regular intervals is very important because you will be probably required to take Nolvadex for 5 years or so.

Some unpleasant symptoms may be experienced when you begin the treatment. These can include bone pain and increased tumor size. However, as your treatment continues these symptoms tend to go away – their appearance actually means Nolvadex is working for you. If these symptoms change in intensity or interfere with your normal life report them to your health care provider. Do not share Nolvadex with people to whom it was not prescribed.
