Frequently asked questions

What is Letrozol Pharmacare used for?+
Letrozol Pharmacare is prescribed for the treatment of estrogen receptor‑positive breast cancer in postmenopausal women. It is used as adjuvant therapy after surgery in early‑stage disease, as well as in metastatic settings to help control tumor growth and reduce disease‑related symptoms.
How does letrozole work?+
Letrozole works by selectively inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts adrenal androgens into estrogens. By blocking this conversion, circulating estrogen levels fall, depriving estrogen‑dependent cancer cells of a key growth signal and thereby slowing tumor progression.
What is the usual dose of Letrozol Pharmacare?+
The exact dose of Letrozol Pharmacare is determined by the prescribing physician based on the patient’s clinical condition, renal and hepatic function, and treatment goals. In most clinical protocols, letrozole is administered once daily, but the prescriber sets the precise regimen.
Is Letrozol Pharmacare safe in pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Letrozol Pharmacare is classified as Pregnancy Category X, meaning it is contraindicated in pregnancy due to a high risk of fetal harm. It is also not recommended during breastfeeding because it may pass into breast milk and affect the infant.
