Where can I find a picture of the 20 mg tablet of tamoxifen citrate
manufactured by Rhoxal? The prescription I have was ordered from a
Canadian pharmacy called Point Douglas Pharmacy in Winnipeg, Manitoba,
and is labeled "Rhoxal-Tamofen 20 mg Tamoxifen Citrate 20 mg".

Hi csw-ga,

I've looked for a picture of Tamofen or Tamoxifen and have been unable
to find one on the net.  I do know the Physicians Desk Reference (PDR)
has pictures of all drugs and their generics.  I have seen PDR's for
sale in bookstores and seen them on the shelf at the library in the
reference section.  A medical library would most certainly have a PDR
on hand.

I did find an address and phone number for RhoxalPharma the
manufacturers of the drug you purchased.

Rhoxalpharma Inc.
4600 THIMENS BOULEVARD
Saint-Laurent
Quebec H4R 2B2
Canada

Tel.:514-856 8442; 514-856-8500

Their website is still under construction and offers no information. 
www.rhoxalpharma.com 

I wish I could be of more help, csw-ga.  

Regards,
cavechick-ga

Thanks, cavechick, for your advice. I, too, had thought of the PDR, but then
discarded the idea thinking that perhaps they carried only medications sold
in the U.S. But I will check at our library now that you mentioned it! Sometimes
we couch potatoes think that EVERYTHING is findable on the net, if only we
know were to find it!

Look for the Compendium of Pharmaceuticals and Specialties, the
Canadian equivalent of the PDR.

MWalcoff, as far as I can tell, it is not possible for a layman to
access images on the website of the Compendium of Pharmaceuticals and
Specialties, but thank you for your input. I DID call Rhoxal as
Cavechick suggested, and they gave me a very detailed description of
the physical characteristics of the pill which, by the way,
Rhodeapharm (sp?)  manufactures, and they (Rhoxalpharma) only
distribute.

Since my quest has been satisfied, I am closing out the question.
Thanks to both of you.
