Product Information
Fulvestrant is a competitive estrogen receptor antagonist (ER) with an affinity comparable to estradiol. Fulvestrant blocks the trophic effects of estrogens without any partial agonist (estrogen-like) activity.
The mechanism of action is associated with down-regulation of estrogen receptor protein levels.
Clinical studies performed in postmenopausal women with primary breast cancer have shown that fulvestrant significantly downregulates estrogen receptor protein in estrogen receptor positive tumors compared to placebo
