Aromasin (Exemestane)
Aromasin contains exemestane, a steroidal aromatase inhibitor used to treat hormone receptor–positive breast cancer in postmenopausal women. By lowering estrogen levels in the body, Aromasin helps slow or stop the growth of tumors that rely on estrogen to grow.
Aromasin is widely used after tamoxifen therapy, in metastatic disease, and as part of extended adjuvant therapy. Treatment should always be supervised by an oncology specialist.
Product introduction
Aromasin (Exemestane) is an irreversible aromatase inactivator. It is taken orally, once daily, and is used primarily in postmenopausal women with early or advanced ER+/PR+ breast cancer. Aromasin reduces systemic estrogen production by blocking the aromatase enzyme, thereby reducing stimulation of hormone-dependent cancer cells.
It may be used after 2–3 years of tamoxifen therapy or as primary endocrine therapy in selected cases. Long-term treatment helps reduce recurrence risk and improve disease control.
Uses of Aromasin (Exemestane)
Aromasin is prescribed for:
- Early-stage hormone receptor–positive breast cancer (adjuvant therapy)
- Extended adjuvant therapy after tamoxifen
- Advanced or metastatic hormone receptor–positive breast cancer
- Endocrine-based treatment for postmenopausal women
Note: Effectiveness depends on menopausal status, tumor biology, and prior treatments.
Benefits of Aromasin (Exemestane)
Key advantages include:
- Durable estrogen suppression in postmenopausal women
- Reduces risk of cancer recurrence when used after tamoxifen
- Proven survival benefits in selected early and metastatic breast cancer cases
- Convenient once-daily dosing

Side effects of Aromasin
Aromasin is generally well tolerated, but predictable side effects may occur because of estrogen depletion.
Common side effects
- Hot flushes and night sweats
- Joint and bone pain
- Fatigue
- Nausea
- Headache
- Insomnia

Important risks: bone weakening (osteoporosis), increased fracture risk, mood changes, high cholesterol, and rare liver enzyme elevations. Contact your clinician if you experience persistent bone pain, severe fatigue, or new neurological symptoms.
How to use Aromasin (Exemestane)
- Take 25 mg once daily, preferably after a meal.
- Take at the same time each day.

- Do not stop therapy unless your oncologist advises.
- Bone-health supplements (calcium & vitamin D) may be recommended.
Regular DEXA bone scans are typically advised during long-term use.
How Aromasin works
Aromasin irreversibly blocks the aromatase enzyme, reducing estrogen formation. This limits the growth of ER-positive cancer cells, helping prevent recurrence and disease progression.
