letrozolilla

Letrozole is a medication used primarily in the treatment of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. It is a selective estrogen receptor degrader (SERD), which means it works by blocking the action of estrogen in breast tissue. Estrogen is a hormone that can promote the growth of breast cancer cells. By inhibiting estrogen, letrozole helps to slow down or stop the growth of these cells. It is typically used in combination with other treatments, such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy, to improve overall treatment outcomes. Letrozole is available in tablet form and is usually taken orally. It is important to follow the dosage and administration instructions provided by a healthcare professional to ensure its effectiveness and safety. Common side effects may include hot flashes, nausea, and fatigue. Serious side effects are rare but can include liver problems and an increased risk of blood clots. Patients should report any unusual symptoms or side effects to their healthcare provider immediately. Letrozole is not recommended for use in men or in women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. It is also contraindicated in patients with a history of liver disease or blood clotting disorders. Always consult a healthcare professional for medical advice and treatment.
