Introduction
Oncolet 2.5mg Tablet:

Oncolet 2.5mg is an anti-cancer drug that belongs to the class aromatase
inhibitor. It is indicated as a supportive therapy after the main therapy or
first-line therapy for postmenopausal women with early and advanced breast
cancer whose tumors are hormone receptor-positive. Since high amounts of
estrogen are found to trigger breast cancer, this medicine reduces the levels
of the female reproductive hormone by blocking the enzyme (aromatase) that is
involved in the production of estrogen. This medicine aims to slow or stop the
growth and/or spreading to other body parts.

Inform your physician if you have not attained menopause yet, as this
medicine does not work for premenopausal women. Since this medicine tends to
reduce the levels of female reproductive hormones, it is not advised for
menstruating women as it is related to causing fertility issues. It is advised
to keep track of your cholesterol levels as this medicine tends to elevate
cholesterol levels. Oncolet 2.5mg could also decrease bone mineral density.
Hence, discuss with your physician and consider monitoring your bone parameters
regularly. It is advised to use effective birth control during the treatment
and at least 3 weeks after the last dose.
