Overview
Trozet 2.5mg Tablet contains letrozole, an aromatase inhibitor used in the treatment of hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer in postmenopausal women.
Letrozole works by blocking the aromatase enzyme, which reduces the body’s production of oestrogen; since many breast cancers rely on oestrogen to grow, lowering oestrogen levels can slow or stop the growth of hormone-sensitive cancer cells.
How it Works
Trozet selectively and reversibly inhibits the aromatase enzyme responsible for converting androgens into oestrogens in peripheral tissue, significantly lowering circulating oestrogen levels in postmenopausal women and depriving hormone-sensitive breast cancer cells of the oestrogen they need to grow.
Directions for Use
Take at the same time each day, with or without food, and swallow the tablet whole with water. Do not stop or change the dose without your oncologist’s advice, even if you feel well.
Dosage
The usual dose is one 2.5mg tablet once daily, taken continuously for the duration prescribed by your oncologist, which may extend to several years depending on the treatment plan.
Shelf Life
Refer to the expiry date printed on the packaging.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Trozet used for?
Trozet contains letrozole and is used to treat hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer in postmenopausal women.
How does Trozet work?
It blocks an enzyme needed to produce oestrogen, lowering oestrogen levels and depriving hormone-sensitive cancer cells of the hormone they need to grow.
Why is this medicine only for postmenopausal women?
Letrozole lowers oestrogen produced outside the ovaries; in premenopausal women, the ovaries can compensate by producing more oestrogen, so it is not effective or approved for use before menopause unless ovarian function is separately suppressed.
How long will I need to take this medicine?
Treatment duration is determined by your oncologist based on your specific cancer and treatment plan, and may extend to several years – do not stop without medical advice.
What are the common side effects?
Common side effects include hot flashes, joint pain or stiffness, fatigue, and bone thinning with long-term use.
Why do I need bone density monitoring while on this medicine?
Letrozole lowers oestrogen, which can reduce bone density over time – your doctor will monitor your bone health and may recommend calcium, vitamin D, or other measures.
Can I take hormone replacement therapy while on this medicine?
No, hormone replacement therapy should not be used together with letrozole, as it works against the intended effect of lowering oestrogen.
