Loreta is an aromatase inhibitor used for treating breast cancer in postmenopausal women, either as a standalone treatment or alongside surgery or radiation. It is also effective for advanced breast cancer that has spread beyond the breast and may be prescribed for treating infertility by stimulating ovulation. Loreta works by inhibiting aromatase, an enzyme responsible for converting androgens to estrogen. This reduces estrogen levels, slowing the growth of estrogen-dependent breast cancer cells.
Loreta 2.5 is a type of anti-cancer medicine from the group called aromatase inhibitors. It is used to treat breast cancer in women who have gone through menopause (when menstrual periods have stopped). Breast cancer develops in breast cells that are stimulated by the female hormone estrogen.
Loreta 2.5 Tablet contains the active ingredient Letrozole, which works by blocking the aromatase enzyme responsible for producing estrogen. Since cancer cells rely on estrogen to grow, Loreta 2.5 Tablet reduces estrogen levels, thereby preventing the growth and spread of cancer cells (tumors) to other parts of the body.

- High cholesterol levels (hypercholesterolemia)
