1. What is Exemestane Winadol and what is it used for

Exemestane belongs to a group of medicines called aromatase inhibitors.

These medicines interfere with a substance called aromatase, which is needed to produce the 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 Winadol 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.

Exemestane Winadol is also used to treat advanced hormone-dependent breast cancer in postmenopausal women when a different hormonal treatment has not been effective enough.
