Can exemestane tablets be eaten often?

Exemestane tablet is a third generation steroid irreversible aromatase inhibitor with low side effects and easy to use. It can irreversibly combine with aromatase and inhibit the biosynthesis of estrogen in vivo, so as to reduce the level of estrogen in circulating and tumor sites and inhibit the growth of breast cancer. It also has obvious curative effect on estrogen dependent tumors such as endometrial cancer.

Clinical data showed that exemestane could reduce the tumor progression and mortality by 18% and 23%, respectively. There was no cross resistance between exemestane and non steroidal aromatase inhibitors due to their different sites of action.

This product may still be effective in patients who do not respond to other aromatase inhibitors. Exemestane has gradually become the first-line treatment for advanced breast cancer because of its good tolerance and no obvious side effects.

matters needing attention

Exemestane in the treatment of breast cancer needs to be taken for a long time to stabilize the condition, but it should not be taken often when it does not reach the condition that should be taken, and long-term use needs to insist on taking until the body produces drug resistance.
