Thread: Nolvadex Side Effects

Ive only read the first one, but it mentions the "constant irritation and inflammation", leading me to believe that these side effects are from long term users. Gotta remember, its normally used for breast cancer, which means a regimen of much longer than a normal PCT.

The only thing that scares me is that its manufacturer even admits its a liver carcinogen. I dont need any more stress on my liver than its already under. Again though, I assume its more about long term use.

Okay, on the second one, it even mentions that it is recommended to take it for 5 years. I definately dont run a PCT anywhere close to that.

Again, the only real problem with short term use I see would be the possibility of a blood clot. I assume it takes more than 4 weeks of use to get this. But, I will now take aspirin while on it.

Thanks for the good post.

It makes me break out

Interesting but it's important to remember when administed to woman for breast cancer they often take it for at least 5 years continuously. 5+ years of use compared to 4 weeks PCT isn't a fair comparison.

I'm not saying Tamoxifen doesn''t have side effects but used very infrequently the risks are likely to be low.
