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.

Xtane 25mg Tablet is indicated for:

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.
