Dear volos, Hairloss is an uncommon side effect of tamoxifen. Likely the cause is the decreasing estrogen levels, (hair loss (alopecia) can also accompany menopause, the decrease in estrogen, may be the culprit).  There may also be an element of genetics to this as well (you may have experienced more hair thinning with menopause).  In other words many factors could be contributing to the hair thinning and loss, the starting of tamoxifen could be just one additional factor.  There is not a specific remedy to eliminate hair loss due to tamoxifen.  I am giving you the link to the website Chemocare.com.  On there you will find information about hairloss and some coping strategies for dealing with this problem.
