Fulvestrant Mylan is primarily used in the treatment of hormone receptor-positive metastatic breast cancer. It is often prescribed for postmenopausal women whose cancer has progressed after other hormone therapies.

Patients with a history of severe allergic reactions to Fulvestrant or any of its components should avoid using this medication. It is important to inform your healthcare provider about any other medical conditions or medications you are taking before starting treatment.
