Letrozole is an aromatase inhibitor that works by reducing estrogen levels in the body. Lower estrogen can help stimulate ovulation in women facing infertility or irregular cycles. In medical conditions like hormone-sensitive breast cancer, Letrozole helps slow down the growth of cancer cells that depend on estrogen. It must only be taken under strict medical supervision, especially when used for fertility treatment.
