Pharmacodynamics of Exemestane 25mg tablet

Aromatase is an enzyme found in the adrenal glands that transform hormones into estrogen. Aromatase inhibitors (AIs) like Aromasin (Exemestane) are medications that limit the function of aromatase in the adrenal glands, lowering estrogen levels. Selective AIs (SAIs) lower estrogen levels while leaving other steroid hormones generated by the adrenal gland alone.
