Lezra 2.5mg Tablets

Lezra 2.5mg Tablets contains Letrozole 2.5mg, an aromatase inhibitor. Made by Atco Laboratories Ltd, it is prescribed for hormone-sensitive breast cancer after the menopause and ovulation induction. Pack size: 30 tablets.

Uses of Lezra 2.5mg Tablets

Lezra 2.5mg Tablets is used to treat hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer in women who have been through the menopause. It may be given after surgery to lower the chance of the cancer coming back, sometimes following tamoxifen, or to treat cancer that has spread. Fertility specialists also use it to help the ovaries release an egg in women who do not ovulate regularly.

How Lezra 2.5mg Tablets works

Letrozole blocks aromatase, the enzyme that makes oestrogen in fat and other tissues after the menopause. With much less oestrogen available, hormone-sensitive breast cancer cells lose a signal they need to grow. In fertility treatment, the brief drop in oestrogen prompts the body to release more follicle-stimulating hormone.

Possible side effects

Many side effects of Lezra 2.5mg Tablets come from lower oestrogen levels. The common ones include:

• Hot flushes and sweating
• Joint and muscle pain
• Tiredness
• Headache
• Thinning of the bones
• Raised cholesterol

See a doctor promptly for unusual vaginal bleeding, chest pain, sudden breathlessness or swelling in one leg. Get urgent help for weakness on one side of the body or difficulty speaking.

Precautions and warnings

• Your doctor may check your bone density and cholesterol, and may advise calcium, vitamin D or other bone-protecting treatment.
• It must not be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding; women who could still become pregnant should discuss contraception.
• Avoid products containing oestrogen, such as HRT, unless your specialist advises otherwise.
• Tell your doctor if you have liver or kidney problems.
• It can cause tiredness or dizziness, so take care with driving until you know how it affects you.

Storage

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it in the original pack until use. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
