WHAT FASLODEX IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Faslodex contains the active substance fulvestrant, which belongs to
the group of estrogen blockers.
Estrogens, a type of female sex hormones, can in some cases be
involved in the growth of breast
cancer.
Faslodex is used either:

alone, to treat postmenopausal women with a type of breast cancer
called estrogen receptor
positive breast cancer that is locally advanced or has spread to other
parts of the body
(metastatic), or

in combination with palbociclib to treat women with a type of breast
cancer called hormone
receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative
breast cancer, that is
locally advanced or has spread to other parts of the body
(metastatic). Women who have not
reached menopause will also be treated with a medicine called a
luteinizing hormone releasing
hormone (LHRH) agonist.
When Faslodex is given in combination with palbociclib, it is
important that you also read the package
leaflet for palbociclib. If you have any questions about palbociclib,
please ask your doctor.
