Medicinal Benefits of Kavifol 5mg Tablet

LETROZOLE belongs to the group of anti-cancer medicines called aromatase inhibitors. LETROZOLE is used to treat breast cancer in women who have gone through menopause (cessation of periods). Breast cancer is a type of cancer that develops in breast cells which are stimulated by female sex hormone called estrogen. LETROZOLE works by blocking the aromatase enzyme, which is involved in the production of estrogens. The cancer cells require estrogen for their growth, so by blocking the enzyme LETROZOLE prevents the growth of cancer cells. Thereby, LETROZOLE helps in slowing down or stopping the growth and/or spreading the tumours to other body parts.

Directions for Use

Take LETROZOLE with or without food. Do not chew or break the tablet; swallow it as a whole with a glass of water. Take LETROZOLE at the same time every day.
