Fulvestrant is an antiestrogen that is used to treat hormone receptor (HR)-positive, advanced or metastatic breast cancer.

Fulvestrant is an estrogen receptor antagonist. It’s a type of hormone therapy that specifically blocks estrogen from binding to breast cancer cells. This medication is useful in treating breast cancers that have estrogen receptors (ERs). Without estrogen, these types of cancer cells won’t have the “fuel” they need to spread.

The typical starting dose of Fulvestrant is 500 mg injected into muscles of the buttocks every 2 weeks for the first 3 doses (Days 1, 15, and 29). After that, you’ll continue with a maintenance dose of 500 mg monthly.

Depending on your condition, you might be receiving Fulvestrant along with other medications to treat your cancer.
