tamoxifen and x-factor @ same time

[rockstar6181]

i am going to be taking tamoxifen 20mg per day for 6 months to try and shrink a gyno problem (this is being perscribed by a DR who says its not worth removing them surgically as the lumps arent big enough and havent been there to long).

I understand that tamoxfien reduces IGF-1? and x-factor raises it? any concerns here, would tamfoxfin lessin the results from x-factor?

I doubt it since X-factor's results don't come strictly from IGF. It interplays with a lot of homrones, IGF just being one of them.

 

[yeahright]

I was looking for a sticky and couldn't find one. Is there a definative list somewhere of contraindications?

The only definitive things I would stay away from are NSAIDs and high doses of fish oil (lower dosages should be fine though)

The new XF FAQ is now up btw
