Letrozole is an aromatase inhibitor that blocks the enzyme aromatase, which converts androgens into estrogens. By lowering estrogen levels in the body, it helps inhibit the growth of hormone-dependent breast cancer cells.
The standard dose of Letrozol is 2.5 mg taken once daily, preferably after a meal.
Dosage may vary depending on the condition being treated, and the prescribing physician may adjust it based on individual patient needs.
Take Letrozol 2.5 mg orally, with or without food.
It is important to take it at the same time each day for optimal results.
Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water.
Letrozol may interact with other medications, such as hormonal treatments (e.g., estrogen therapy) or other anticancer drugs.
Inform your healthcare provider about all the medicines, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements you are taking to avoid possible drug interactions.
Contraindicated in premenopausal women as it is not effective in this group.
It should not be used in patients with a known hypersensitivity to Letrozol or any of its components.
Not recommended for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Common side effects include hot flashes, joint pain, fatigue, headache, and nausea.

Letrozol should not be used during pregnancy, as it may harm the fetus.
