1. What is Exemestane Teva-ratiopharm and what is it used for

This medicine is called Exemestane Teva-ratiopharm. Exemestane Teva-ratiopharm belongs to a group of medicines called aromatase inhibitors. These medicines interfere with a substance called aromatase, which is needed to produce female sex hormones, estrogens, especially in postmenopausal women. The reduction of estrogen levels in the body is a way to treat hormone-dependent breast cancer.

Exemestane Teva-ratiopharm is used to treat hormone-dependent breast cancer in early stages in postmenopausal women after they have completed 2-3 years of treatment with the medicine tamoxifen.

In addition, Exemestane Teva-ratiopharm is used to treat advanced hormone-dependent breast cancer in postmenopausal women when other hormonal treatment has not been effective enough.
