Tamoxifen/periods

Question:-I have been taking tamoxifen for five years. I have only had 1 period at the start and wonder if my periods will come back once I stop taking the tablets. I am 43 years old

Reply:-About 20% of women will have irregular periods on tamoxifen, but only a few stop their cycles entirely.Tamoxifen will not cause early menopause unless you’re already on the brink. After you stop taking tamoxifen, your body usually goes back to where it was before.

Be aware, that precautions should be taken to avoid pregnancy
