XMALON 25 MG – 10 TABLETS

Description

XMALON 25 MG is a powerful oral medication designed to treat estrogen-receptor-positive breast cancer, particularly in postmenopausal women. As an aromatase inhibitor, it blocks the enzyme aromatase, which is responsible for converting androgens into estrogen. By lowering estrogen levels in the body, XMALON 25 MG reduces the growth and spread of hormone-dependent cancer cells. It is primarily used after surgery or radiation therapy to prevent cancer recurrence or as a secondary treatment for advanced breast cancer.

Usage Instructions:
Take one tablet of XMALON 25 MG daily, preferably after a meal.
Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water.
Continue the prescribed course of treatment, even if you feel well, unless advised otherwise by your doctor.

Medicinal Advantages:
Reduces Estrogen Levels: Helps lower estrogen production, essential for slowing the growth of hormone-dependent breast cancer cells.
Prevents Cancer Recurrence: Used as adjuvant therapy after surgery or radiation to prevent the return of breast cancer.
Treats Advanced Breast Cancer: Effective for treating advanced stages of hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer.

Mechanism of Action:
XMALON 25 MG works by inhibiting the enzyme aromatase, which is responsible for converting androgens into estrogen in the body. By reducing estrogen production, it helps limit the growth of estrogen-dependent breast cancer cells, making it a critical part of treatment for hormone receptor-positive breast cancer in postmenopausal women.

Off-Label Uses:
While primarily used for breast cancer, Exemestane may occasionally be prescribed off-label to reduce the risk of cancer in women with a high genetic predisposition for hormone-dependent breast cancer. Always consult with your healthcare provider before considering off-label use.

Expert Advice:
Take Consistently: For optimal effectiveness, take XMALON 25 MG at the same time every day without skipping doses.
Follow-Up Tests: Regular blood tests may be required to monitor estrogen levels and ensure the medication is working effectively.
Bone Health Monitoring: Since Exemestane can affect bone density, your doctor may recommend supplements or lifestyle changes to maintain bone health.

Precautions:
Bone Density Loss: XMALON may decrease bone density over time. Regular bone scans are recommended, and calcium/vitamin D supplements may be needed.
Avoid During Pregnancy: XMALON is not suitable for women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, as it can harm the fetus.
Liver Function Monitoring: Patients with liver problems should use this medication with caution and undergo regular liver function tests.

Storage Conditions:
Store XMALON 25 MG at room temperature, away from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep the medication out of reach of children.
