What is Aromasin used for?
Aromasin is used to treat advanced breast cancer in
women who can no longer have children
(postmenopausal) whose disease has gotten worse after
treatment with tamoxifen.

The safety and effectiveness of Aromasin in women who
can still have children (premenopausal) has not been
determined.

General Precautions with Aromasin:

Do not take Aromasin if you are pregnant. Aromasin may
cause birth defects or even death to an unborn baby.
Aromasin has only been studied in postmenopausal
women.

Tell your doctor if you have a history of liver or kidney
problems.

What should I tell my doctor or health care provider?

Because certain other medications can interact with
Aromasin, review all medications that you are taking with
your health care provider, including those that you take
without a prescription. It is important to avoid taking any
medications containing estrogen along with Aromasin,
because they may interfere with the action of Aromasin.

If you are breastfeeding and accidentally exposed to
Aromasin tell your doctor right away.
