How it works

From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (ETCAMAH). It describes the substance, not this exact product.

Camizestrant is an estrogen receptor (ER) antagonist.

In vitro, camizestrant binds to the ligand binding domain of ERα, antagonizing the activity of ERα encoded by both wild-type ESR1 and mutated ESR1 and inducing proteasome-dependent degradation of ERα, without agonizing ERα.

Camizestrant is primarily metabolized by CYP3A and UGT1A4.

With food

Effect of Food No clinically significant differences in camizestrant pharmacokinetics were observed following administration of a high-fat meal (951 calories, 58% fat) in healthy postmenopausal women.
