Xtane 25 mg Tablet

Description

Xtane 25mg Tablet contains Exemestane, a hormonal therapy used to treat hormone receptor–positive breast cancer in postmenopausal women. It lowers estrogen levels to help slow or stop cancer growth under oncologist supervision.

Benefits

• Reduces estrogen-driven cancer growth

• Lowers risk of breast cancer recurrence

• Proven survival and disease-control benefits

• Convenient once-daily oral therapy

• Well-established hormonal treatment option

Indications and Usage

Xtane 25mg Tablet is indicated for:

• Hormone receptor–positive (HR+) breast cancer

How it Works

Exemestane blocks the aromatase enzyme, responsible for estrogen production in postmenopausal women. Lower estrogen levels deprive HR-positive cancer cells of the hormone they need to grow, helping slow or stop tumor progression.
