Tamoxifen....
"Tamoxifen, such as Nolvadex, is a common anti-estrogen used in human medicine. This product works by blocking estrogen receptors. Unfortunately a study in ferrets showed Nolvadex to have estrogenlike effects in ferrets, which would make estrogen-induced anemia, thrombocytopenia and mammary gland hyperplasia even worse."
