Exemestane 25 mg Tablet – Breast Cancer Treatment

Exemestane 25 mg Tablet is an aromatase inhibitor used in the treatment of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer in postmenopausal women. It works by reducing estrogen levels, which slows or stops the growth of estrogen-dependent cancer cells.

It is commonly prescribed as adjuvant therapy after tamoxifen or in advanced breast cancer management.

⚙️ Mechanism of Action

Exemestane irreversibly inhibits the aromatase enzyme, preventing the conversion of androgens into estrogen. This results in:

• Lower estrogen production

• Reduced stimulation of hormone-sensitive tumors

• Slowed cancer progression

• Improved long-term disease control
