Exemestane 25mg

Description

Exemestane 25mg is a synthetic androgen analogue. It’s is a steroidal inhibitor of aromatase which  binds irreversibly to and inhibits the enzyme aromatase, thereby blocking the conversion of cholesterol to pregnenolone and the peripheral aromatization of androgenic precursors into estrogens.

Exemestane has been associated with a low rate of serum enzyme elevations during therapy and rare instances of clinically apparent liver injury.

This medication is used to treat certain types of breast cancer (such as hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer) in women after menopause. Exemestane is also used to help prevent the cancer from returning. Some breast cancers are made to grow faster by a natural hormone called estrogen. Exemestane decreases the amount of estrogen the body makes and helps to slow or reverse the growth of these breast cancers. Exemestane is usually not used in women of childbearing age.

Exemestane is usually taken once a day after a meal. Take Exemestane at around the same time every day. You may need to take Exemestane for several years or longer. Continue to take Exemestane even if you feel well. Do not stop taking Exemestane without talking to your doctor.
