Product Details
Femara (Letrozole) is used for the treatment of certain types of breast cancer (such as hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer in women after menopause. Letrozole belongs to the group of cancer-fighting medications known as antineoplastics. It may also be used to prevent the cancer for recurring. This medication works by lowering the levels of estrogen in the body of women who have been through the menopause. This helps to slow down the progress of certain forms of breast cancer, as these need oxygen to grow and spread. Letrozole if often prescribed to women who have been taking Tamoxifen for five years or more. In women who have been through the menopause, androgens are converted to estrogen which is called aromatisation and this medication works by blocking this process. It is most often prescribed to women who have early breast cancer and have had surgery to remove a tumor. It may also be given pre-surgery to some women if the doctor believes it would benefit the patient.
