Why is Aromasin prescribed?

Exemestane (Aromasin) is prescribed for the treatment of breast cancer in postmenopausal women who have previously taken Tamoxifen for 2 to 3 years. It is also prescribed for the treatment of postmenopausal women whose breast cancer has become worse while taking Tamoxifen.

What does it do?

Cancer is the general term for a large number of diseases wherein abnormal cells develop in the body and grow uncontrollably. The abnormal cells destroy normal cells in the body. Breast cancer occurs in the cells of the breast.

Exemestane is classified as an aromatase inhibitor that acts to lower the amount of estrogen circulating in the body. This may cause the delay in the growth of breast tumors that require estrogen to grow and develop.

How should I take it?

Aromasin is available in 25mg tablets and it is intended for oral administration with a full glass of water and with meals. Swallow the tablet as a whole and do not crush, chew, break it in half, or tamper the tablet in any way.

Take it exactly as your doctor instructed and do not make alterations in the dosage or frequency. Continue to take the medication even if you feel well. Always consult your doctor before you stop taking the medication.

Consult your doctor or pharmacist for any concerns you may have when taking Aromasin.

What if I missed a dose?

The desired effects of prescribed medications will only be achieved if taken properly. As much as possible, strictly follow your doctor’s prescribed dosing schedule. However, if you miss a dose, take it immediately and adjust the time of your next dose depending on your doctor’s advice. Never take two doses at the same time just to make up for your missed dose.

What are the special precautions before using Aromasin?

Inform your doctor if you are allergic to Exemestane, any component of Aromasin, and other medications.

Inform your doctor if you have or have ever had osteoporosis, high blood pressure, liver disease, or kidney disease.

You may need to have a negative pregnancy test before starting treatment with Exemestane. You will need to use birth control methods when taking Exemestane and a month after your last intake to avoid pregnancy. Exemestane can cause harm to the fetus and should not be taken if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant.
