Product Intro:
Letrocan 2.5mg contains Letrozole, a non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor used primarily in the treatment of early and advanced breast cancer in postmenopausal women. Manufactured with precision, it is often prescribed after surgery or radiation, and in cases where tamoxifen therapy is no longer effective.

How it Works (Mechanism of Action):
Letrozole is a selective aromatase inhibitor.
  1. It blocks the enzyme aromatase, which converts androgens to estrogen.
  2. In postmenopausal women, estrogen helps certain types of breast cancer grow.
  3. By reducing estrogen levels, Letrocan helps slow or halt tumor growth in hormone-sensitive breast cancers.
