Letrobol 2.5mg Tablet

Letrobol 2.5mg Tablet contains Letrozole, an aromatase inhibitor used in the treatment of hormone-dependent breast cancer in postmenopausal women. It works by reducing the amount of estrogen produced in the body, thereby slowing or reversing the growth of estrogen-sensitive tumors.

Letrobol is also prescribed to prevent the recurrence of breast cancer after initial treatment and, in some cases, as an adjunct therapy for fertility management under strict medical supervision.

Uses of Letrobol 2.5mg Tablet

• Treatment of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer in postmenopausal women

• Prevention of recurrence or metastasis of breast cancer

• Supportive therapy after surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy

• Occasionally used in female infertility treatment (off-label use) under medical guidance

How Letrobol Works

Letrozole belongs to a class of drugs called aromatase inhibitors. It blocks the enzyme aromatase, which is responsible for converting androgens into estrogens. By lowering estrogen levels, it limits the fuel for estrogen-dependent cancer cells, slowing their growth and spread within the body.
