Aromasin (exemestane) is a type of steroid aromatase inhibitor that works by blocking the production of estrogen in the body.This drug is commonly used in postmenopausal women with breast cancer to reduce the amount of estrogen in the body. This slows the growth of cancer cells that depend on estrogen for growth. Its use in men is often to quickly and effectively lower circulating estrogen, for this purpose it is superior to any other AI available.
The typical half-life of Aromasin is approximately 24 hours. This means that it takes about 24 hours for half of the initial dose to be excreted from the body. This varies from person to person, depending on factors such as age, weight, and liver function.
The recommended dose of Aromasin is to take 25 mg orally, usually once daily after meals. It is important to follow your doctor’s dosage instructions and not take more or less than recommended. Use should continue until desired estrogen levels have been reached therafter careful monitoriing to gauge required dose to maintain this level. Continues abuse will lead to ‘creashed’ estrogen levels which can result in further complcations to the patient.
Common side effects associated with Aromasin include hot flashes, joint pain, fatigue, and sweating. Some users may also experience increased cholesterol and decreased bone density.
