Tamoxifen & alcohol

Going through breast cancer treatment Hormone therapy
1

Hello all,

I’ve just started taking tamoxifen, a few days in and doing mostly OK. I’ve heard anecdotally that some people become more sensitive to alcohol when taking tamoxifen and wondered how people got on with it?

I am not a binge drinker by any means, but enjoy a social drink and am desperate to move on and live my life without continually being reminded of things that have been.

Thanks all x

Hi I’ve been taking tamoxifen since June and have a few glasses of wine on a Saturday night and I’ve been totally fine. Hope this helps xxx

please read up on alcohol and breast cancer as it seems it is a factor in developing breast cancer so I would avoid it if you can.

There’s a few items on this website about it outside the forums.
