Information About Exemestane

Exemestane is a steroidal aromatase inactivator used to treat hormone receptor-positive breast cancer in postmenopausal women in Singapore. Available as a 25mg oral tablet taken once daily after a meal, it is HSA-registered and available on prescription only in Singapore. Unlike non-steroidal aromatase inhibitors, exemestane permanently inactivates aromatase through irreversible covalent binding, maintaining oestrogen suppression even if a dose is missed and potentially offering advantages in patients who have developed resistance to non-steroidal aromatase inhibitors. A valid doctor's consultation is required before dispensing. Order Exemestane online at DoctorOnCall Singapore with same-day delivery available.
