it is a hormone blocker like Letrozole and Anastrozole but it works a different way. When I was having problems on Anastrozole my doctor told me I could choose Exemestane or letrozole instead.
They are not identical but they are in the same drug class.
Exemestane, letrozole, and anastrozole are all aromatase inhibitors used to treat hormone receptor-positive breast cancer, but they are not the same. While they work similarly by lowering estrogen levels, they are different drugs with unique chemical structures and may have slightly different side effect profiles. Always Show Full Answer
