Help[Facts] Pavlos - can you help with a Greek word?
This is a bit off-track, but I wondered if you can help me with finding out what a drug named Terimon is for. I don't speak a word of Greek, and can't understand the web-pages that feature it in a Greek pharmacological guide.
I know it's a bizarre request, but it may help in the naming of a horse whose sire is called Terimon! Ask Nan - she's already in the know on this one!
Thanks a lot!

My pleasure to help!
Terimon is the brand name of a drug containing Tamoxifen. The US version is know as Nolvadex. Tamoxifen is an estrogen-antagonist used to treat breast cancer in women. On a bizarre note, many male bodybuilders abuse Tamoxifen to avoid so-called "bitch tits" which result from anabolic steroid abuse (as mentioned in the movie "Fight Club").
May a suggest that you condider a different approach?

Erm, I take your point about going about this a different way, although in a more liberal world, I think naming the mare "Bitch Tit" could have a heck of an impact in the funny world of showing horses!
Whilst it isn't exactly a nice name from that point of view, there's a small laugh there, as Terimon's sire is called Bustino! I wonder if it was a man with a chest fixation involved in the naming......
Thanks very much for your help! I will pass it on.
