Medicine Description zitazonium 10mg
Zitazonium 10mg Tablets is a medication that functions as a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM). It primarily acts by binding to estrogen receptors on cancer cells, thereby inhibiting the proliferative effects of estrogen. This action reduces the growth of estrogen-dependent tumors by blocking the estrogen from stimulating the cancer cells. Additionally, this medication may have antagonistic effects in certain tissues, which can help prevent the development of new tumors and is particularly beneficial in patients with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer.
