What is Exemestane?
|
|
Exemestane
is a medicine that is used to treat breast cancer in
women whose disease has progressed while they were
taking tamoxifen. It acts by causing a decrease in
hormone (estrogen) levels.
|
|
|
|
How does Exemestane
work?
|
|
Exemestane
interferes with the production of estrogen in the body.
As a result, the amount of estrogen that the tumor is
exposed to is reduced, limiting the growth of the tumor.
Only women who have already stopped menstruating use
this medicine.

into rat milk. Because this medicine may cause serious
side effects, breast-feeding is generally not
recommended while you are taking it.

Older
adults?/span>Many

people. Therefore, it may not be known whether they work
exactly the same way they do in younger adults. Although
there is no specific information comparing use of
exemestane in the elderly with use in other age groups,
this medicine is not expected to cause different side
effects or problems in older people than it does in
younger adults.
