Tamoxifin side effects?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Breast cancer med: The most common side effects are annoying like hot flashes, vaginal dryness or discharge and a decreased libido. They are not that serious. The more rare but serious side effects are increased risk of uterine cancer, blood clots, cataracts and even stroke. Hope that helps.

A long list of proximal side effects can also be quite serious. Get information from your doctor or pharmacist and tell them of any unusual experiences immediately. Best wishes!
