Uses & Benefits
Medical applications
Nausea
Letroz Tablet contains Letrozole 2.5 mg, a non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor used primarily in the treatment of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer in postmenopausal women. Letrozole works by selectively inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which is responsible for the peripheral conversion of androgens to estrogens. By reducing estrogen levels, Letrozole effectively deprives estrogen-dependent breast cancer cells of the hormone necessary for their growth and proliferation.
