In clinical studies, it was observed that Nolvadex has bipolar properties: estrogenic and antiestrogenic effects. It still reduces the level of prolactin in blood. But in any case, the observed antitumor action of the drug Nolvadex. Instructions for use reports that this is its main effect in hormone-dependent tumors.
