Benefits

In Breast cancer
Breast cancer symptoms such as breast lumps, bloody flow from the nipple, and changes in the form or texture of the breast are relieved by using Letroz Tablet. It works by affecting the body’s production of hormones that are needed for breast cancer growth and spread. It could potentially interact with other hormones or have a direct effect on cancer, slowing its progression.

In Infertility due to an ovulation
Letroz Tablet helps in the healthy development of an egg in a female reproductive organ (ovaries) and enhances the release of the egg during the ovulation process.  Infertility in women can be treated using this method. This boosts the chances of getting pregnant. To get the most benefit from your medication, you must take it exactly as your doctor has prescribed.

Side effects

Most side effects don’t need to be treated by a doctor, and they go away as your body adapts to the medicine. You should consult your doctor if the symptoms continue or if you are concerned.

Common side effects of Letroz Tablet:

• Fatigue
• Hypercholesterolemia (high cholesterol)

How to use

Take this medication as prescribed by your doctor in the dosage and time frame specified. Take it all in at once. Avoid chewing, crushing or breaking it in any way. It is best to take Letroz Tablet at the same time each day, with or without meal.

How it works

Letroz Tablet is an anti-aromatase drug. It works by reducing the quantity of estrogen (a naturally occurring feminine hormone) produced in the body. Some breast cancers that require estrogen to grow can be slowed or prevented by a decrease in estrogen. In addition, it is useful in the treatment of infertility by enhancing the production of certain hormones that stimulate the ovaries to release eggs.
