What is Letrozole?

Letrozole, the active ingredient in Letrozolo Eg, is a aromatase inhibitor presented as a oral tablet for oral use. It treats postmenopausal hormone receptor‑positive breast cancer and is used as adjuvant therapy in early‑stage disease.

GNH USA supplies Letrozolo Eg as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, oncology centres and pharmacies worldwide.

What is Letrozole used for?

Letrozolo Eg is an aromatase inhibitor used in breast‑cancer treatment pathways.

Postmenopausal hormone‑receptor‑positive breast cancer: reduces tumor growth and recurrence. Adjuvant treatment of early‑stage breast cancer: lowers risk of disease progression. Estrogen‑dependent breast cancer: helps prevent recurrence after surgery or radiation.

What are the side effects of Letrozole?

Letrozolo Eg may cause a range of adverse reactions. Patients should be monitored for any new symptoms.

Common Side Effects: - Hot flashes: transient episodes of increased warmth. - Arthralgia: joint pain or stiffness. - Fatigue: generalized tiredness. - Nausea: mild to moderate upset stomach. - Headache: occasional mild pain. - Osteoporosis: reduced bone mineral density over long‑term use.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Venous thromboembolism: blood clots in deep veins. - Severe liver injury: marked elevation of hepatic enzymes. - Interstitial lung disease: inflammation of lung tissue. - Cardiovascular events: increased risk of heart attack or stroke.

What precautions apply to Letrozole?

Before initiating Letrozolo Eg, clinicians should evaluate patient history and comorbidities.

Assess bone health: consider baseline densitometry and calcium/vitamin D supplementation. Monitor liver function: periodic testing for hepatic enzymes. Evaluate cardiovascular risk: screen for hypertension, hyperlipidaemia. Avoid use in pregnancy: Letrozole is contraindicated (Category X). Store at ambient temperature: keep below 25°C in the original container, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

What does Letrozole interact with?

Letrozolo Eg can interact with several medicines that affect its metabolism or hormone levels.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Strong CYP2A6 inhibitors (e.g., fluvoxamine): may increase Letrozole exposure. - Estrogen‑containing hormone therapy: antagonises therapeutic effect.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - CYP3A4 inducers (e.g., rifampicin): may reduce Letrozole plasma concentrations. - Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin): may require INR monitoring. - Tamoxifen: concurrent use may diminish efficacy of both agents.
