Inform your physician if you have not attained menopause yet, as this medicine does not work for premenopausal women. This medicine could also disrupt bone mineral density and increases cholesterol levels. Hence, your physician must monitor your bone functions and cholesterol levels at regular intervals.
Uses of Letroz 2.5mg Tablet:
Adjunct to standard treatment for postmenopausal women with early breast cancer.
Treatment of hormone receptor-positive or unknown advanced breast cancer in postmenopausal women.
How Letroz 2.5mg Tablet works:
Letroz 2.5mg Tablet is a nonsteroidal compound that inhibits estrogen production by blocking the enzyme aromatase in all tissues to the extent where there is total estrogen deprivation. In the premenopausal stage, this medicine does not stop estrogen production, which is why it is not recommended for premenopausal women unless ovaries are removed or gonadotropin secretion is suppressed.
This medicine works by delaying the progression of the disease, avoiding the recurrence of early-stage breast cancer and improving the survival rate.
Interaction with other drugs:
Inform your doctor about any medications you are taking or have taken before the treatment.
