How it Works:
Femara works by inhibiting an enzyme called aromatase, which is responsible for producing estrogen in postmenopausal women. By blocking aromatase, Femara reduces estrogen levels, which can help slow or stop the growth of hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer cells.
Uses:
- Breast Cancer: Femara is used to treat early-stage and advanced breast cancer in postmenopausal women.
Important Considerations:

- Drug Interactions: Inform your doctor about all medications you’re taking, including over-the-counter drugs and herbal supplements, as they may interact with Femara.
- Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Femara is not recommended for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
