Letocor 2.5 Mg Tablet 5 contains letrozole (2.5 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Aromatase Inhibition: Letrozole blocks an enzyme called aromatase in the body. This enzyme produces estrogen, a hormone that can stimulate the growth of certain types of breast cancer cells.
• Increased Fertility Hormones: In cases of infertility due to anovulation, the reduction in estrogen levels prompts the release of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) from the pituitary gland. These hormones assist in stimulating the ovaries to produce eggs and promote ovulation.
