Overview
Lez 2.5 Tablet is an aromatase inhibitor commonly prescribed for the treatment of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer in postmenopausal women. It may be used on its own or in combination with surgery or radiation therapy.
How It Works
This medicine works by lowering estrogen levels in the body. Certain breast cancers rely on estrogen to grow, and by reducing its production, Lez 2.5 helps slow or stop cancer progression.
