Caditraz 2.5mg Tablet is an aromatase inhibitor used primarily in the treatment of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer in postmenopausal women. It works by reducing estrogen production, which slows or stops the growth of estrogen-dependent cancer cells.

Main Uses:

• Treatment of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer in postmenopausal women

• Adjuvant therapy to reduce risk of cancer recurrence

• Management of metastatic breast cancer in suitable patients

How it Works:

• Letrozole inhibits the enzyme aromatase, which converts androgens into estrogen, lowering estrogen levels in the body and depriving hormone-sensitive cancer cells of the growth signal.

Dosage:
Take as prescribed by your oncologist, usually once daily, with or without food. Complete the full course even if symptoms improve.

Side Effects:

• Hot flashes

• Fatigue or weakness

• Joint or muscle pain

• Nausea or dizziness

• Rare bone density reduction or osteoporosis

Precautions:

• Use only under strict medical supervision

• Monitor bone health and cholesterol levels during treatment

• Not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women

• Inform your doctor about other medications to avoid interactions

Storage:
Store in a cool, dry place below 25°C, away from sunlight and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.

MEXate 15 Tablet is used to treat certain types of cancer, such as breast cancer, head and neck cancer, and leukemia. It is also prescribed for autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and Crohn’s disease. Methotrexate works by slowing down the growth of rapidly dividing cells and suppressing an overactive immune system, thereby reducing inflammation and disease activity.

Dosage
Take the tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor, usually once a week, not daily. The dose and duration depend on your medical condition and treatment response. Taking more than the prescribed dose can cause serious side effects.

How to Use
Swallow the tablet whole with water, with or without food. Take it on the same day each week to maintain consistency. Do not crush or chew the tablet. If you miss a dose, contact your doctor for advice—do not double the dose to make up for a missed one.

Precautions
Inform your doctor if you have liver, kidney, or lung problems. Avoid alcohol, as it increases the risk of liver damage. Women should avoid pregnancy during treatment and for some time after stopping it, as Methotrexate can cause birth defects. Regular blood tests are required to monitor liver, kidney, and blood cell levels.

Side Effects
Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, fatigue, mouth ulcers, and loss of appetite. Serious side effects may include liver problems, lung infections, low blood counts, and severe skin reactions. Seek medical help immediately if you notice unexplained bruising, shortness of breath, or yellowing of skin or eyes.
