A member asked:
Can my regular doctor prescribe tamoxifen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, but...: I would recommend you see a medical oncologist regarding this medication. These types of physicians prescribe tamoxifen frequently and are most familiar with its use and side effects. So if you encounter a side effect, they will know what to do.
