Drug introduction

Rallozole is a drug used to treat breast cancer and belongs to a class of drugs called nonsteroidal antiestrogens. It interferes with the production of estrogen in the body, which in turn reduces tumor growth. Rallozole is commonly used to treat breast cancer in postmenopausal women, especially those whose tumors are still growing despite having received other treatments.

Some side effects may occur when using rallozole, including hot flashes, headache, muscle aches, etc. In Hong Kong, you should ask your doctor for advice before using rallozole and use it strictly in accordance with the doctor's prescription. If you develop serious side effects, such as difficulty breathing or severe skin reactions, seek medical attention immediately.
