Fulvestrant, marketed under the brand name Faslodex, is an injectable hormonal therapy used to treat hormone receptor-positive (HR+) breast cancer in postmenopausal women. It works by blocking and breaking down estrogen receptors on cancer cells, helping to slow or halt the growth of tumors that depend on estrogen. Fulvestrant Injection Prefilled Syringes are used to treat certain types of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer in postmenopausal women. Fulvestrant is an estrogen receptor antagonist that works by blocking and degrading estrogen receptors, which slows the growth of cancer cells that require estrogen to grow. It is often used in patients for whom other treatments have not been effective.
