Info: Letrozole is a drug that has been recommended for use in postmenopausal women with breast cancer and functions through inhibiting the aromatase enzyme and therefore decreasing the production of estrogen. Aside from its recommended application, Letrozole may be used for ovulation in women who have complications in their fertility. Letrozole can be regarded as nonsteroidal selective aromatase inhibitor that competes for the aromatase enzyme and decreases the conversion of androgens to estrogen, suppresses the uterine weight and raises the luteinizing hormone levels. Letrozole works by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme and thus reducing the levels of postmenopausal estrogen which leads to the reduction in size of the ER-positive tumors.
