Ovazol Tablet 2.5 mg contains Letrozole, a potent non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor used in the treatment of hormone-sensitive conditions. Letrozole works by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which is responsible for converting androgens into estrogen in the body. By reducing estrogen levels, Ovazol helps slow the growth of estrogen-dependent tumors and is widely used in the management of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. It is also sometimes used to induce ovulation in women with specific fertility challenges.

Indications

Ovazol Tablet 2.5 mg is indicated for:

• Adjuvant treatment of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer in postmenopausal women
• Advanced or metastatic breast cancer in postmenopausal women
• Induction of ovulation in anovulatory women, particularly in cases of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
• Situations requiring reduction of estrogen levels for therapeutic purposes

Mechanism of Action

Letrozole, the active ingredient, functions by:

• Selectively inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens into estrogens
• Reducing systemic estrogen levels, thereby limiting the growth stimulus for estrogen-dependent breast cancer cells
• In ovulation induction, lowering estrogen levels triggers the release of gonadotropins, promoting follicular development and ovulation
• Providing targeted hormonal modulation without affecting other steroid hormones
