Exemestane is also used to help prevent the cancer from returning.

What is Exemestane?

Exemestane is the generic name for Aromasin as well as the active ingredient responsible for the therapeutic effects. Exemestane is an antiestrogen drug; this means it affects estrogen (a natural hormone mainly produced in the ovaries) in the body. Like many other medications, antiestrogens are broken down into different types depending on their mechanism of action; exemestane is an antiestrogen belonging to the drug class called aromatase inhibitors.

 

What is Aromasin used for?

Anastrozole is used for post-menopausal woman diagnosed with hormone receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer; using this medication will help slow the growth of the cancer. It works by posing as a substrate for the aromatase enzyme, which ultimately inhibits the enzyme, resulting in inactivation of it (this is known as suicide inhibition); this reduces the amount of estrogen in the body, which helps to slow (or even reverse) the growth of the cancer (hormone receptor-positive breast cancer requires estrogen to grow).
