Letroheal

Product Overview

Letroheal is a medication containing the active ingredient Letrozole. It belongs to a class of drugs known as aromatase inhibitors, which are commonly used in the treatment of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. Letrozole works by inhibiting the enzyme aromatase, which is responsible for the conversion of androgens to estrogens in the body. By reducing estrogen levels, Letroheal helps to slow down or stop the growth of hormone-sensitive breast tumors.

Uses

Letroheal is primarily used in postmenopausal women to treat hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. It is often prescribed as adjuvant therapy following surgery or other treatments to reduce the risk of cancer recurrence. It may also be used in combination with other medications or therapies as part of a comprehensive treatment plan for breast cancer.

How to Use

Letroheal is usually taken orally, with or without food, once daily. The dosage and duration of treatment may vary depending on the individual’s medical condition and response to therapy. It is important to take it exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Swallow the tablet whole with a full glass of water, and do not crush, chew, or break the tablet. If you have any questions or concerns about how to use it, consult your doctor or pharmacist for guidance.

How it Works

Letroheal works by inhibiting the enzyme aromatase, which plays a key role in the synthesis of estrogen from androgens in postmenopausal women. Estrogen fuels the growth of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer cells. By blocking estrogen production, Letroheal helps to deprive cancer cells of the hormone they need to grow and multiply, thereby slowing down or stopping the progression of the disease.

Dosage and Administration

The recommended dosage of Letroheal for breast cancer treatment is usually 2.5 milligrams (mg) taken orally once daily. Your doctor may adjust the dosage based on your individual response to the medication and any side effects you may experience. It is important to take Letroheal regularly and at the same time each day to maintain steady levels of the drug in your body. Do not stop taking Letroheal suddenly without consulting your doctor, as this may worsen your condition.
