•LETROBOL (Letrozole Tablets USP 2.5 mg): An Aromatase Inhibitor
LETROBOL contains Letrozole Tablets USP 2.5 mg, a non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor that reduces estrogen production by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme responsible for converting androgens into estrogens. It is primarily prescribed for the treatment of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer in postmenopausal women and is an established component of endocrine therapy.
By lowering estrogen levels, LETROBOL helps slow or prevent the growth of estrogen-dependent breast cancer cells. In certain clinical situations, healthcare professionals may also prescribe letrozole for other evidence-based indications, such as ovulation induction in selected patients. LETROBOL is a prescription-only medication and should be used only under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional with regular clinical monitoring.

•How LETROBOL (Letrozole Tablets USP 2.5 mg) Works
Letrozole selectively inhibits the aromatase enzyme, which converts adrenal and ovarian androgens into estrogens. In postmenopausal women, aromatase is the primary source of estrogen production. By significantly reducing circulating estrogen levels, LETROBOL limits stimulation of estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer cells, slowing tumor growth and reducing the likelihood of disease progression or recurrence. Its mechanism makes it an important component of hormone therapy for eligible patients.
