Letrozole is an aromatase inhibitor which is used to treat certain types of breast cancer such as hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer after surgery. This is sold under the brand name Femara among others. Letrozole Powder plays a vital role in healing breast cancer in women post menopause. In some cases, breast cancer is made to grow faster by a natural hormone called estrogen. However, these estrogens are produced by the conversion of androgens through the activity of the aromatase enzyme. Then estrogens bind to an estrogen receptor, which causes cells to divide. The letrozole reduces the amount of estrogen the body makes and also helps to reverse the growth of these breast cancers.
