What is Aromasin 25?

Aromasin 25 mg is essentially a medicine, sold under the brand name Exemestane, known for curing certain breast cancer types in women after menopause. Known popularly as one of the aromatase inhibitors, it lies under the class of Antiestrogens, Aromatase Inhibitor, and Antineoplastics. These are tablets that are for oral administration, containing 25mg of Exemestane.

Further in this article is more about the uses, mechanisms, side effects, and other facts about Aromasin medicine. Let's explore more!

How does Aromasin 25 mg tablet work in the body?

Exemestane, or so-called Aromasin, lies in the class of aromatase inhibitors, which works by lowering the amount of the estrogen hormone produced by the body. This significantly leads to slower or no growth of most breast tumours that require the hormone estrogen to grow and develop!

Can one take other medicines while being on Aromasin dosage?

The doctor fixes the dose of Aromasin medicine after analyzing factors like

  • A person's medical condition for that problem
  • The response that the person's body gives to the treatment
  • Current or former diseases
  • The medicines which the patient is already taking
Disclosing the prescriptive drugs, the former diseases, non-prescriptive drugs, food supplements, and the herbal products in use is necessary for the patient before the doctor prescribes Aromasin.

How To Take Aromasin 25mg  Tablet?

Aromasin 25mg tablet is a breast cancer pill only to be taken after the doctor's consultation. One must consume this drug by mouth as directed by the doctor. It is advised that the patient must take it at the same time daily, either in the daytime or at night! In general, it should be taken only once every day, after the meal.

Exemestane 25 mg tablet must be taken without breaking, crushing, or in powder form. This affects the speed and volume of medicine in the blood!

How long does it take for Aromasin medicine to kick in?

Aromasin contains Exemestane, which is known to get absorbed from the gut quickly but undergoes a first-pass solid effect in a person's liver. In healthy individuals, the maximum blood plasma concentration reaches about 2.9 hours. However, in breast cancer subjects, this figure is known to get 1.2 hours.

Experts suggest that the maximal aromatase inhibition that could occur takes place after two to three days of consumption!

Side Effects

Some common side effects that this drug contains are listed below:

  • Headache and tired feeling
  • Nausea
  • Increased appetite
  • Insomnia and other sleeping issues
  • Hot flashes
  • Joint pain
  • Increased sweating

There exist a few serious side effects too, which might include:

  • Swollen hands and feet
  • Chest pain
  • Sudden or increased headache, confusion
  • Unusual or new bone pain
  • Speech, balancing, and vision issues
  • Sudden weakness or numbness
  • Shortness

How long can the side effects last?

It takes 6 to 12 days for the Aromasin side effects to stop in the patient's body. If it is not the actual case, one must quickly consult the doctor for the same.

Precaution

Is there any specific diet suggested while consuming Aromasin?

Not a compulsory fixed diet is needed for the Aromasin drug. However, it is best if the patient does not consume it after a heavy or high-fat meal. Overeating must be avoided! This might lead to an increase in the medication levels in the blood.

What adverse effects could happen to pregnant women?

For pregnant ladies out there, Aromasin must neither be consumed, handled, or even be breathed (in the form of dust, etc.). This medicine is too efficient to be absorbed through the skin and lungs! Strict precautions must be taken, and one must rush to the doctor if she accidentally encounters any such condition.

Does it harm in stopping the Aromasin dose suddenly?

Exemestane continues to reduce the risk of breast cancer coming back again until many years after a person stops its consumption. However, if we talk about stopping the dosage before the prescribed duration, then this might lead to an increased risk for breast cancer to come back.

Can a person drink alcohol while taking Aromasin medicine?

Small amounts of alcohol are acceptable while a person is on an Aromasin dosage. However, the more significant amounts lead to compromise the effectiveness of the safety and usefulness of the Exemestane in the patient's body.

What happens in case of a missed dose of Aromasin?

If a person accidentally misses taking the Aromasin dose, the missed dose must be skipped if it exceeds 12 hours. One must then continue the usual dose timings without haphazardly repeating the amount. Consult the doctor for more clarity on the same!

Storage

Exemestane 25mg tablet (Aromasin) must be stored at room temperature and away from heat and moisture!
