How it works
From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (CLIGAVYX). It describes the substance, not this exact product.
Many breast cancers have estrogen receptors (ER) and the growth of these tumors can be stimulated by estrogen.
Fulvestrant is an estrogen receptor antagonist that binds to the estrogen receptor in a competitive manner with affinity comparable to that of estradiol and downregulates the ER protein in human breast cancer cells.
Although fulvestrant is partly metabolized by CYP 3A4, a clinical study with rifampin, an inducer of CYP 3A4, showed no effect on the pharmacokinetics of fulvestrant.
