Fempro contains letrozole that works in breast cancer by blocking an enzyme (aromatase) which prevents the conversion of androgens (androstenedione and testosterone) to estrogens (estrone and estradiol) due to this levels of estrogen hormones drop in the body. The decrease in hormone levels leads to a reduction in tumor mass or delays the progression of tumor growth in some women. For an ovulation (infertility), it is presumed that Fempro works by increasing the sensitivity of ovary to follicular stimulating hormone (FSH) and also low level of estrogen hormones in the blood is detected by the brain which in turn increases the production of a follicular stimulating hormone (FSH) which causes induction of ovulation.
Fempro is a brand name of letrozole and it comes in the form of a tablet. It belongs to the class of drugs known as an aromatase inhibitor. It is a prescription drug which is used for the treatment of breast cancer. It is also used off-label for the treatment of anovulation (female infertility).
