AstraZeneca has made the decision to discontinue the commercial manufacture and distribution of branded NOLVADEX® (tamoxifen citrate) Tablets in the United States by June 2006.
Once commercial supplies are exhausted, patients will no longer be able to obtain brand name NOLVADEX Tablets. This applies to both new prescriptions and refills.
Currently there are numerous companies that manufacture generic tamoxifen in the United States. This is one of the reasons why AstraZeneca has voluntarily decided to cease manufacturing NOLVADEX.
With the wide availability of generic tamoxifen, the discontinuation of NOLVADEX should in no way affect access to this medication.
In addition, when the manufacture and commercial distribution of NOLVADEX Tablets is discontinued in June 2006, NOLVADEX will no longer be available within the AstraZeneca Foundation Patient Assistance Program.
Should you have any questions, please contact the AstraZeneca Cancer Support Network at 1-866-992-9276, Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 8 PM EST.
Tooken off the site, wow is this right?

Well, it looked right. But then I just got flamed as if Im a big fool for not knowing something... because, of course, everyone is supposed to know everything about steroids after there first week of using it. But, I dont know what the deal is. Hopefully someone can explain

Even if true, there are still Generics, and people out of the United States.

NOLVADEX is a brand name. It probably means that their patent ran out and they can no longer RAPE people for the brand name. Tamox is manufactured by a ton of other companies and UGLs

Rep! Exactly!
It is explained quite obviously in the statement.
