What is this medicine?
LETROHEAL contains Letrozole, an aromatase inhibitor. This medicine is used to treat hormone receptor-positive breast cancer in postmenopausal women. It works by lowering estrogen levels in the body, which slows the growth of certain types of breast tumors that need estrogen to grow.
