FAQs
Why have I been prescribed Entolet 2.5 Tablet?
Entolet 2.5 Tablet is an aromatase inhibitor. It is generally prescribed to treat breast cancer in women who no longer have periods, either due to menopause or after surgery or chemotherapy. It is also used to treat infertility caused due to anovulation (during menstrual cycle egg cell from ovaries is not released).
How does Entolet 2.5 Tablet work?
Entolet 2.5 Tablet is also known as an anti-estrogen drug. It is called so because it acts by reducing the production of estrogen in your body by blocking the enzyme aromatase, which is responsible for the production of estrogen. Estrogen stimulates the production of certain types of breast cancer in your body. These cancers are called "estrogen-dependent cancers". Reducing the production of estrogen may prevent cancer from growing.
For how long should I take Entolet 2.5 Tablet?
If the breast tumor is in the advanced stage or has spread to other parts of the body, it is recommended that you continue taking Entolet 2.5 Tablet till the tumor shows progression. In cases where Entolet 2.5 Tablet is given after tamoxifen (another anti-estrogen used for breast cancer) or surgery, it should be given for 5 years or until the tumor comes back, whichever is first. It can also be given as a sequential treatment; 2 years of Entolet 2.5 Tablet followed by 3 years of tamoxifen.
If I am taking irbesartan to control my blood pressure, can I take Entolet 2.5 Tablet?

Does Entolet 2.5 Tablet affect vision?
Although it is very uncommon, Entolet 2.5 Tablet may cause a cataract. So, if you experience blurred vision or eye irritation, consult your doctor immediately.
My friend who is taking Entolet 2.5 Tablet often sweats a lot. Is it because of Entolet 2.5 Tablet?
This could be a sign of hot flushes which is a very common side effect of Entolet 2.5 Tablet. It happens due to decreased estrogen levels. The frequency of hot flushes reduces once your body adjusts to Entolet 2.5 Tablet. However, in some people, the flushes and sweats may continue during the treatment and stop a few months after the treatment finishes. You can consult your doctor who will provide you a remedy if it is very bothersome.
What are the serious side effects of Entolet 2.5 Tablet?
