    GlossaryTamoxifen (Tamoxifen Citrate)

    medication used to treat and prevent breast cancer

    Tamoxifen, also known by brand names like Nolvadex and Soltamox, is a medication primarily used to treat and prevent breast cancer. It works by binding to estrogen receptors, thereby blocking the effects of estrogen on breast tissue, which can slow or stop the growth of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer cells.

      community Does finasteride/dutasteride reverse aging?

      Finasteride and dutasteride can improve skin texture and reduce acne by lowering DHT but do not reverse aging. They may enhance skin and hair health for some, but can also cause side effects like dry skin and sexual dysfunction.
