Faslodex is a hormone therapy for breast cancer. A doctor or nurse gives it as a slow injection into the buttock muscle. It treats hormone receptor-positive (HR+) advanced or spread breast cancer. Faslodex blocks and breaks down estrogen receptors, so cancer cells lose the signal that makes them grow.
Key Benefits of Faslodex 250mg
How It Works
- Fulvestrant is a selective estrogen receptor degrader (SERD).
- It binds estrogen receptors and blocks them.
- Then it breaks the receptors down, so estrogen cannot act.
- As a result, hormone-driven cancer cells slow or stop growing.
