Can I take magnesium and or electrolytes whilst on Tamoxifen?

Hi there, 

I am on Tamoxifen and have been for 1 year now (another 9 yrs to go!). Can I take magnesium whilst on this medication? And can I take electrolytes (which I believe has magnesium in)? 

Thank you x x

  • Hello and thank you for your post.

    I am afraid that no one here can tell you if taking magnesium or electrolyte supplements is safe to take with Tamoxifen. You should discuss this with your breast cancer team, in particular, your breast cancer nurse or a pharmacist as they can check this out.

    Please get back to us if you need any more information or support. You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Take care
