About Anolet Tablet

Anolet Tablet belongs to the group of anti-cancer medicines called aromatase inhibitors used to treat breast cancer in women who have gone through menopause (cessation of menses periods). Breast cancer is a type of cancer that develops in breast cells stimulated by the female sex hormone known as estrogen.
 
Anolet Tablet contains 'Letrozole' that works by blocking the aromatase enzyme, which is involved in the production of the estrogen hormone. The cancer cells require estrogen for their growth. Hence, by blocking the aromatase enzyme, Anolet Tablet prevents the growth of cancer cells. Thereby Anolet Tablet helps in preventing or stopping the growth of spreading the tumours (cancer cells) to other body parts.

You are advised to take Anolet Tablet for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you depending on your medical condition. In some cases, Anolet Tablet may cause certain common side-effects such as hypercholesterolemia (increased cholesterol levels), tiredness, weakness, increased sweating, feeling unwell, pain in joints, and hot flushes (feeling of warmth). Do not be reluctant to talk with your doctor if you experience any of these side-effects persistently.
 
Avoid taking Anolet Tablet if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Anolet Tablet may cause drowsiness and dizziness, so drive only if you are alert. Anolet Tablet should not be given to children as safety has not been established. Avoid consuming alcohol along with Anolet Tablet as it could lead to increased drowsiness and dizziness. Inform your doctor about your health condition and medications to rule out any side-effects.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Breast cancer: It is a type of cancer that develops in breast cells which are stimulated by the female sex hormone called estrogen. Breast cancer may form in lobules (glands that produce milk), ducts of the breast (the pathway that brings milk from glands to the nipple), and in the fatty tissue or the fibrous connective tissue within the breast. The tumour cells invade other healthy breast cells and can travel to lymph nodes which are a primary pathway for the cancer cells to move to other parts of the body. Symptoms of breast cancer include a lump in the breast or tissue thickening which feels different than the normal surrounding tissues, breast pain, redness, swelling, nipple discharge other than breast milk, bloody discharge, unexplained change in shape, size or appearance of the breast, peeling, flaking or scaling of the skin, and a lump or swelling under the arm.
