Fulvestrant is an injectable medicine from the group of estrogen blockers, used to treat breast cancer in postmenopausal women.
Please note: a valid prescription is required for all prescription medication.
Being diagnosed with breast cancer involves many physical, emotional, and practical challenges, but finding the right therapy should be a priority. Estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer in postmenopausal women is often treated by estrogen blockers like Fulvestrant injections. You can buy Fulvestrant online at the Online Pharmacy web store.
Fulvestrant is an injectable hormone therapy prescribed to women diagnosed with certain types of breast cancer. It is an estrogen receptor antagonist that slows the growth of cancer cells by preventing estrogen (a type of female sex hormone) from stimulating cancer cell growth.
At Online Pharmacy, you can order Fulvestrat 250 mg/5 ml pre-filled injections.
Fulvestrant therapy is prescribed to:
Treat a type of breast cancer known as estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer that is either locally advanced or metastatic (has spread to other parts of the body) in postmenopausal women
Treat patients with a type of breast cancer known as hormone receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative breast cancer that is locally advanced or metastatic. In this scenario, it is used in combination with palbociclib. Women who have not reached menopause will also receive treatment with a medicine called a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonist (LHRH).
Fulvestrant serves as a targeted treatment created specifically for hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. With proper use, it slows or stops the progression of cancer. The medicine is suitable for patients who are unresponsive to other types of hormonal therapies.
The key ingredient of the medicine is fulvestrant, an estrogen receptor antagonist. The hormone estrogen helps breast cancer cells grow, and fulvestrant binds to estrogen receptors in breast cancer cells and slows their growth. Fulvestrant is a selective estrogen receptor degrader (SERD) that functions as a complete antagonist, unlike partial estrogen receptor modulators.
