Abstract excerpt
Tamoxifen undergoes biotransformation into several metabolites, including endoxifen. Differences in metabolism contribute to the interindividual variability in endoxifen concentrations, potentially affecting treatment efficacy. We evaluated the effects of cytochrome P450 (CYP) induction by rifampicin on the exposure levels of tamoxifen and its metabolites and found that coadministration of rifampicin resulted in...
