Zitazonium is commonly prescribed to treat hormone receptor-positive breast cancer in both men and women. It is also used to reduce the risk of developing breast cancer in high-risk individuals. This medication works by blocking estrogen receptors, which can slow or stop the growth of certain cancer cells. It may be used before or after surgery to shrink tumors.
