Tamoxifen Citrate Tablets

Description

Tamoxifen citrate tablets, offered at 10 mg and 20 mg per tablet across several counts. The compound is a triphenylethylene selective oestrogen receptor modulator and a multi-source generic in the United States, approved, marketed, and not a controlled substance. Research use only, not for human consumption, adults 21 and over, with purchase restrictions by state.

Specification

Two strengths and three counts means the milligram total differs between every option, so the per-milligram figure is recalculated under each one rather than quoted once for the listing.

You will find tamoxifen citrate tablets under the PCT reference materials in the anabolics reference materials catalogue.

Status in the United States

Approved, marketed, multi-source generic, not a controlled substance. The whole PCT shelf shares that position and tamoxifen citrate tablets is no exception, which matters because the parent category contains compounds that are scheduled, unapproved, or both. Approval records are published at the FDA’s drug approvals and databases and the federal schedules by the DEA.

Salt and base in tamoxifen citrate tablets

Free base near 371.5, citrate salt near 563.6, so the counterion accounts for about a third of the mass. Whether a stated strength refers to the salt or to the base is named on the label and on the certificate, and it is the single most common source of confusion when comparing two listings of tamoxifen citrate tablets.

Structurally this is the parent of a small family: clomiphene adds a chlorine and a different side chain, toremifene adds a chlorine on the side chain. All three are triphenylethylenes and all three are on this shelf, which is why the full chemical name rather than a trade name is what appears in the specification.

Working out the total for each option

Content per unit times the count: a 30 count at 20 mg is 600 mg, a 90 count at 20 mg is 1,800 mg, and the 10 mg presentations scale the same way. Each option is priced separately with its own per-milligram figure printed beneath it.

Higher content per unit improves that figure, which is arithmetic rather than a recommendation. Price per milligram beats the price on the bottle and check the lab before you check the numbers are the relevant reading.

Reading the lot certificate

Start at the header, not the numbers. The laboratory name, the method reference, the date the sample was received and the lot it came from are what make the rest of the page mean anything. Then the HPLC purity figure for tamoxifen citrate tablets, as a percentage of total peak area. Then the mass spectrometry identity confirmation, which is the measured mass set against the expected molecular mass. Then residual solvents in parts per million. The laboratory issuing it has no ownership connection to this company, which is the part that cannot be reconstructed from the figures themselves.

Check the lab before you check the numbers explains why we put the header first, and how to read a certificate of analysis covers the fields in order.

Specifications only

Everything above is a property of tamoxifen citrate tablets or of its paperwork. There is no section on use, because there is no version of a use section for this family that we are willing to write, and requests for one are declined rather than quietly ignored.

What we will answer about tamoxifen citrate tablets: what the assay returned, what the lot number refers to, what the carrier and preservative are, whether we can ship to a given state. Why research use only is not a legal strategy covers the regulatory background, and the FDA’s drug information pages carry the agency’s own statements.

Container, label and lot

The label on tamoxifen citrate tablets carries the compound name, the content per unit, the container count or fill volume, the lot number and the date the lot was assayed. Those five things are what make a reference material traceable, and a container missing any of them is a container of unknown provenance whatever is written on the invoice. Storage conditions for this item are printed on the listing. Sealed containers are shipped sealed, and we do not repackage into unlabelled vials or bottles on request.

This is laboratory stock. Research use only for this item, not for human consumption, and not approved for administration to a person or an animal in any jurisdiction. Sales are limited to adults 21 and over and to states where the compound is lawful, which the listing states and the checkout applies. Lot certificates, current and historical, sit on the lab results page beside the note on price per milligram.
