Letrozole 2.5mg Tablets

Description

Letrozole Tablets – Trueova-L belongs to a class of anti-cancer drugs known as aromatase inhibitors, which are used to treat breast cancer in menopausal women (cessation of menses periods). Breast cancer is a type of cancer that develops in breast cells that are stimulated by oestrogen, a female sex hormone.

It contains the drug ‘Letrozole,’ which works by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which is involved in the production of oestrogen. Cancer cells require oestrogen to grow. Letrozole Tablets prevents cancer cell growth by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme. As a result, it aids in preventing or slowing the spread of tumours (cancer cells) to other parts of the body.

Uses of Letrozole Tablets
