Tamoxifen and Antidepressant Interactions

Posted by SLS on June 23, 2011, at 8:09:38

When one takes tamoxifen in combination with:
1. Prozac
2. Paxil
3. Wellbutrin
; the therapeutic anti-cancer effects of tamoxifen are greatly reduced. However, estrogen receptor antagonist drugs that are not metabolized by CYP450 2D6 are unaffected. Raloxifene is one such drug.
