Nolvadex-D can block the growth of breast cancer. It works by interfering with the effects of estrogen in the breast tissue. Use Nolvadex-D for a condition that is listed in this section only if it has been so prescribed by your health care professional. Nolvadex-D may also be used to cause the release of an egg (ovulation) in certain women who are trying to become pregnant.

Nolvadex-D is a non-steroid anti-estrogen which competitively inhibits estrogen receptors in the target organs and tumors in them. Mechanism of its action is not completely investigated though it is known that a complex of Nolvadex-D with the receptor and cofactor appears and than it is transferred to the cell nucleus preventing hypertrophy of the cells which depend on regulation by estrogen. The effect of the medication can last several weeks after a single dose.
