Aromasin Each coated tablet contains 25 mg of exemestane and is available in blister packs of 30 tablets.

AROMASIN belongs to a group of medicines known as aromatase inhibitors. These drugs interact with a substance called aromatase, which is necessary for the production of sex hormones, estrogens, especially in postmenopausal women. Reducing estrogen levels in the body is one way to treat hormone-dependent breast cancer.

In patients with a special type of postmenopausal (Postmenopausal hormone receptor positive (estrogen and/or progesterone receptor)) early stage breast cancer, it is used for a period of 5 years, when the total hormonal treatment period is completed by switching to AROMASIN after 2-3 years of tamoxifen use.

It is used in the treatment of patients with a special type of postmenopausal (Postmenopausal hormone receptor positive (estrogen and/or progesterone receptor)) advanced breast cancer and in those with advanced disease after endocrine therapy.
