Open-Label Drug Interaction Study Evaluating Desvenlafaxine Succinate Sustained Release (DVS SR) 100mg On The Pharmacokinetics Of Tamoxifen When Coadministered To Healthy Post-Menopausal Female Subjects

The goal of this study is to evaluate the effect of multiple doses of Desvenlafaxine SR on the pharmacokinetics of Tamoxifen and endoxifen when coadministered to healthy post-menopausal female subjects. This study will also evaluate the safety and tolerability of Desvenlafaxine SR and Tamoxifen when coadministered to healthy post-menopausal female subjects.
