Quality Letrozole Medicine

Letrozole is a hormonal treatment to breast cancer. In most cases, breast cancers require the availability of the estrogen hormone to grow. Postmenopausal women find it difficult dealing with the condition. In such a situation the main estrogen source goes down and thus requiring the change of androgen into estrogen hormone. Aromatase is an enzyme that facilitates the conversion process thus causing the growth of the breast cancer.

How the medicine works

Using Letrozole drugs inhibits the activity of the aromatase enzyme. Consequently, the estrogen hormone levels in the body decreases causing slowed growth of the cancerous cells.

Before starting on this medication, it is prudent that your doctor ascertains the suitability of the medicine to your condition. Kiwi Drug advises clients to inform their prescribers on the following issues:
