Fertilet 2.5 mg Tablets

Fertilet 2.5 mg Tablets contain Letrozole, a non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor primarily used for ovulation induction in women with infertility and also for the treatment of hormone-responsive breast cancer in postmenopausal women. It works by lowering estrogen levels, which stimulates ovulation and inhibits estrogen-dependent tumor growth.

Uses / Indications

• Ovulation induction in women with infertility

Mechanism of Action
