Tamoxifen side effects

Tamoxifen side effects

I have been on Tamoxifen for about six months now.  My hair is thinning and I have a rash and a lot of itching on my shins and feet.  Are these side effects of Tamoxifen? What about pulmonary embolism.  Is that also a danger? Not one of my doctors said anything about this.
Thanks in advance for your answer.

Dear ning, Hair thinning,rash and itching are listed as possible side effects of Tamoxifen.  There is an increase in risk of developing blood clots or pulmonary embolism associated with Tamoxifen use particularly in women over age 50.
