“As BCA is an inhibitor of CYP 3A and P‐gp it was expected to increase the bioavailability of tamoxifen , a known substrate of CYP3A4/Pgp.”
“Consequently, the relative bioavailability (RB%) of tamoxifen co‐administered with BCA was remarkably decreased compared with the control group.”
“If the results of this study are further confirmed by clinical trials, tamoxifen dosages should be adjusted to avoid potential drug interaction when tamoxifen is used clinically in combination with BCA and BCA‐containing dietary supplements.”
