The use of tamoxifen is contraindicated in women with a history of deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolus or in women who require concomitant coumarin- type anticoagulant therapy. There is evidence of an increased incidence of thromboembolic events, including deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, during tamoxifen therapy.

Therapy with tamoxifen should be administered cautiously in patients with or history of gynecological abnormalities.
Tamoxifen (applies to Nolvadex D) hepatic dysfunction
Moderate Potential Hazard, Low plausibility. Applicable conditions: Liver Disease
Tamoxifen is extensively metabolized by the liver and excreted in the feces. Alteration in liver enzyme levels have been noted. Severe hepatic injuries such as fatty liver, cholestasis, hepatitis, and hepatic necrosis are rare, however, deaths have been reported. Patients should be instructed to immediately report any sign or symptoms of hepatic dysfunction such as jaundice, dark urine, right upper quadrant pain, or anorexia. Therapy with tamoxifen should be administered cautiously in patients with or predisposed to compromised hepatic function.
Tamoxifen (applies to Nolvadex D) myelosuppression
Moderate Potential Hazard, Low plausibility. Applicable conditions: Bone Marrow Depression/Low Blood Counts, Bleeding
Hematological abnormalities during tamoxifen therapy may include thrombocytopenia, leukopenia, and anemia. Rare hemorrhagic episodes, severe neutropenia and pancytopenia have been reported. Therapy with tamoxifen should be administered cautiously to patients with or predisposed to bone marrow suppression.
Tamoxifen (applies to Nolvadex D) visual disturbances
