What is Letrozole?
Letrozole belongs to the aromatase inhibitors group and is used to treat breast cancer in postmenopausal women. It is also used to enhance ovulation in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome. Anastrozole and Exemestane also belong to the same class of drugs.
Uses of Letrozole
Letrozole is prescribed for various medical conditions caused by hormonal imbalance, including Fertility Treatment (Off-label use), Endometriosis, Gynecomastia, PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome), and Hormone replacement therapy.
How does it works?
Letrozole works by reducing estrogen levels in the body. It stops an aromatase enzyme from converting certain hormones (androgens) into estrogen. This prevents the stimulation of breast tissue and lowers the chances of tumor recurrence in post-menopausal women. In women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or unexplained infertility, reducing estrogen levels has been shown to stimulate ovulation.
What are the different dosage forms and strengths of Letrozole?
Letrozole comes only in one dosage form, i.e., Tablet with only one strength, 2.5mg, available worldwide. For the treatment of breast cancer and other medical conditions, it is recommended once daily for the specified period.
How to take it?
This medication should only be taken via mouth with water. It should not be crushed or chewed while taking to decrease its effectiveness. Letrozole can be with or without food and works best when taken daily at the same time.
