Letronat 2.5mg Tablet is a medication primarily used in the treatment of hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The active ingredient is Letrozole, a non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor. It works by blocking the enzyme aromatase, which is responsible for converting androgens into estrogens in the body. By reducing estrogen levels, Letronat helps to slow down or stop the growth of breast cancer cells that rely on estrogen to grow.
This medication is typically prescribed as part of a treatment regimen for early or advanced breast cancer. The usual dosage is one 2.5mg tablet taken orally once a day. It can be taken with or without food. Your doctor will determine the duration of treatment based on your individual response and the stage of your cancer.
Common side effects of Letronat 2.5mg Tablet may include hot flashes, joint pain, fatigue, nausea, and headache. Less common but more serious side effects can occur, so it is important to discuss any concerns with your healthcare provider. Store the tablets at room temperature, away from moisture and heat, and keep them out of reach of children.
