What is Exemestane?

Exemestane, marketed under the brand name Aromasin, is an aromatase inhibitor used primarily in the treatment of breast cancer in postmenopausal women. It works by reducing estrogen levels in the body, which can slow or reverse the growth of estrogen-dependent tumors. Exemestane is often prescribed after other treatments, such as tamoxifen, have been used.

Mechanism of Action

Exemestane works by irreversibly binding to the aromatase enzyme, which is responsible for converting androgens into estrogens. By inhibiting this enzyme, exemestane effectively lowers estrogen levels, reducing the stimulation of estrogen receptors in cancer cells and thereby inhibiting tumor growth.

Benefits

  • Effective Estrogen Reduction
    Helps lower estrogen levels significantly, which is crucial in treating hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer.
     
  • Post-Treatment Option
    Often used after initial treatments to prevent cancer recurrence.
     
  • Bone Health
    Unlike some other treatments, exemestane has a lesser impact on bone density.

Side Effects

Before using exemestane, it's important to be aware of potential side effects:

  • Hot Flashes
    Common among users due to reduced estrogen levels.
     
  • Joint Pain
    Some users report musculoskeletal discomfort.
     
  • Fatigue
    A possible side effect, often manageable with lifestyle adjustments.
     
  • Bone Density Loss
    Long-term use may affect bone health, requiring monitoring and possible supplementation.

Usage Guidelines

  • Dosage
    Typically, one 25 mg tablet is taken once daily after a meal.
     
  • Storage
    Store at room temperature, between 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F), away from moisture and light.
     
  • Precautions
    Not recommended for premenopausal women or those with known hypersensitivity to exemestane.
