Yes, it is mainly for premenopausal women. However, it Tom does not have the severe joint pain side effects. Its been around forever and oncologists prescribe it for those who want less joint pain and still be covered. I know many post M women who take it.

Yes, generally speaking Tomoxifin has been mostly used for premenopausal women. I’m 65 and post menopausal. My doctor switched me to tomoxifin from Anastrozole last spring when I broke out in severe hives. She said hives can be a rare allergic reaction to Anastrozole. I don’t like either one... for me both have some nasty side effects. But I suppose the side effects are better than cancer!
