What is Fulvestrant?

Fulvestrant is a prescription medication given to adult women to treat advanced breast cancer or breast cancer that has spread to other areas of the body (metastatic breast cancer). Specifically, it’s prescribed when:

  1. Your breast cancer is hormone receptor positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative, and has not been previously treated with endocrine therapy
  2. Your breast cancer is hormone receptor positive and has progressed after endocrine therapy

Fulvestrant is the generic version of the medication, and it’s also sold under the brand name Faslodex in the US. You take Fulvestrant by having it injected into a buttock by your doctor or another qualified healthcare professional. You typically have multiple injections in the first month, then one injection each month for the duration of your treatment. Your prescribing doctor will decide your dose and treatment regimen.

The medication can be used alone in post-menopausal women or can be used in combination with other cancer treatments in pre and post-menopausal women. Your doctor will decide on your treatment regimen based on your condition and medical history. 

Fulvestrant active ingredients

The active ingredient in Fulvestrant is also called fulvestrant (this generic version of the drug is named after the active ingredient). Fulvestrant is a type of medicine called a selective estrogen receptor degrader (SERD). It is used to treat hormone receptor positive cancers that need estrogen to grow. Estrogen binds to the outside of these cancerous cells at sites on the cells called estrogen receptors, triggering a range of processes inside the cells that are needed for growth.  

However, Fulvestrant can bind to estrogen receptors on cancerous cells instead, preventing estrogen from attaching to them. This stops estrogen from stimulating the receptors, helping to slow the growth of your cancer.
