Exemestane Uses

Exemestane is used along with other medications for the treatment of estrogen-receptor positive breast cancer (breast tumors that need estrogen to grow) in postmenopausal women, following 2 to 3 years of tamoxifen therapy.

How it works

Exemestane is an anti-cancer drug which belongs to the class, st***dal aromatase inhibitors. It works by inhibiting aromatase that is responsible for converting other hormones in the body called androgens to estrogens, thereby reducing the amounts of estrogen in the body which in turn slows or stops the growth of breast tumors that need estrogen to grow.

Expert advice

• Exemestane should only be used in women who have reached menopause and cannot become pregnant. You should confirm your post-menopausal status through hormonal tests (LH, FSH and estradiol levels) before starting exemestane therapy.• Exemestane should not be co-administered with estrogen-containing medications (such as hormone replacement therapy or birth control pills) as these can interfere with its action.

• Regular examinations to monitor reductions in bone mineral density and elevations in certain blood tests (AST, ALT, alkaline phosphatase and gamma glutamyl transferase, bilirubin, creatinine) are recommended in women receiving exemestane.

• Take precautions while driving or operating machinery as exemestane is known to cause drowsiness, sleepiness (somnolence), weakness (asthenia) and dizziness.
