Femara Tablet contains 2.5 mg of the active ingredient letrozole. It is commonly used as an aromatase inhibitor in the treatment of certain types of breast cancer.
How It Works
Letrozole, the active ingredient in Femara Tablet, works by inhibiting the enzyme aromatase, which is responsible for the conversion of androgens (male hormones) into estrogens (female hormones). This reduction in estrogen levels can be beneficial in the treatment of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer, as it helps to slow down the growth of cancer cells that depend on estrogen.
