Side effects:
Like all medicines, Fareston can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.
The side effects that are most likely to occur are: hot flushes, sweating, uterine bleeding, white discharge, tiredness, nausea (feeling sick), rash, itching, dizziness and depression.
Other possible side effects are: headache, weight increase, swelling, sleep disorders, shortness of breath, constipation, loss of appetite, reversible sight problems and vomiting.
Rare but serious side effects are; blood clots in veins of legs and/or lung, changes in the lining of the uterus (endometrium) and liver problems. You should contact your doctor if you notice any of the following symptoms: swelling or tenderness in your calf, unexplained shortness of breath or sudden chest pain, vaginal bleeding or changes in vaginal discharge.
Interactions:
The effect of blood thinning medications such as nicoumalone and warfarin may be enhanced and so there is an increased risk of bleeding.
The antiepileptics carbamazepine, phenobarbital and phenytoin may reduce the levels of toremifene in the blood.
There is an increased risk of hypercalcaemia if thiazide diuretics are used with toremifene.
