What is Letrozole used for?

Letrozole is primarily used to treat early and advanced hormone receptor-positive breast cancer in postmenopausal women. It may be prescribed after surgery or as a first-line therapy when other treatments are unsuitable. The medication works by lowering estrogen production in the body, which can help prevent cancer recurrence or slow disease progression.

This medication should only be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional. Patients should inform their doctor about any existing medical conditions, especially bone disorders or liver problems. Regular monitoring may be required to assess treatment progress and manage potential side effects.

What does Letrozole interact with?

Letrozole may interact with hormonal therapies, CYP inhibitors, or other medications affecting estrogen levels. Alcohol and certain supplements could influence its effects. Patients should disclose all current medications and supplements to their healthcare provider before starting treatment.
