What is toremifene?

Generic Name: toremifene

Other Brand Names: Fareston

Toremifene blocks estrogen from reaching cancer cells. Certain types of breast cancer require estrogen to grow.

Toremifene is used to slow the growth of metastatic breast cancer (cancer that has spread from the original tumor). Unlike chemotherapy, toremifene does not actually destroy cancer cells.

Toremifene may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.

What are the possible side effects of taking toremifene?

What is the most important information I should know about toremifene?
