1. You can buy the original molecule or any standard Indian brand. Not a problem.

2. Not many side effects. But we prefer, you speak to your Oncologist first, who prescribed it. Discuss in detail. Then, if any doubt, ask us.

Dear Mr. Mittal

I am a breast cancer survivor took Tamoxifen for almost 8yrs. Initially there was not much side effects. Later I had hormone related issues then my Oncologist stopped my medicine. Now I am leading a Cancer free and drug free normal life. So don't worry much about the medicines just believe your Oncologist and follow his/ her advice your daughter in law will be fine like me soon.
