Letrobol 2.5 mg Tablets

Letrobol 2.5 mg Tablet contains Letrozole, an aromatase inhibitor used in the treatment of hormone-dependent breast cancer in postmenopausal women. It works by reducing estrogen production, a hormone that can promote the growth of certain types of breast cancer cells.

Letrobol is also prescribed to prevent the recurrence of breast cancer and, in some cases, may be used as part of fertility treatments under medical supervision. It is a well-established anti-cancer therapy known for its high efficacy and safety profile when used as directed by an oncologist.

Uses of Letrobol 2.5 mg Tablets

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

• Helps prevent recurrence of breast cancer after initial treatment

• Used as adjuvant therapy following surgery or radiation

• Sometimes used off-label in fertility management (under specialist care)

Mechanism of Action

Letrozole acts by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which is responsible for converting androgens into estrogens. By blocking estrogen synthesis, Letrobol effectively starves estrogen-dependent cancer cells, slowing their growth or causing them to shrink. This makes it a key therapy in hormone-responsive breast cancer management.
