Letrozole 2.5 mg

Generic Letrozole 2.5 mg is a prescription aromatase inhibitor used for two major clinical purposes: ovulation induction in fertility treatment and treatment of certain hormone-sensitive breast cancers, depending on specialist assessment. Because it influences estrogen levels, it is not a medicine for casual or unsupervised use. Doctors prescribe it with clear timing, dose duration, and follow-up plans tailored to the indication.

Why doctors typically choose it?

In fertility care, specialists may choose Letrozole to support ovulation induction in patients who require cycle-based stimulation, including situations such as irregular ovulation patterns or certain polycystic ovary syndrome protocols. In oncology, it may be prescribed for postmenopausal patients with estrogen receptor–positive disease as part of long-term hormone therapy planning. The same strength is used, but the treatment goals and monitoring differ greatly, so the prescription context matters.

How it works?

Letrozole reduces estrogen production by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme. In fertility protocols, lowering estrogen temporarily can encourage the body to increase follicle-stimulating signals that support follicle growth and ovulation. In hormone-sensitive breast cancer treatment, lowering estrogen reduces hormone-driven stimulation of cancer cells, supporting disease control over time.

How to take?

Take exactly as prescribed. Fertility use is usually for specific cycle days; oncology use is typically daily and continuous. Do not extend, repeat cycles, or change timing without your specialist. If you miss a dose, follow your doctor’s instructions rather than taking extra tablets.
