Breast cancer survivors are often prescribed antidepressants to ward off hot flashes and other side effects of the cancer drug tamoxifen. But some experts worry that this practice may make tamoxifen less effective.
In spite of this, a new study found that women who took tamoxifen (brand names Soltamox, Nolvadex) in combination with an antidepressant did not have an increased risk of breast cancer recurrence.
