Xtane Tablet belongs to the group of anti-cancer medicines called aromatase inhibitors used to treat breast cancer in women who have gone through menopause (cessation of menses periods). Breast cancer is a type of cancer that develops in breast cells stimulated by the female sex hormone known as estrogen.

Xtane Tablet works by blocking the aromatase enzyme, which produces the estrogen hormone. Thus, it lowers the amount of estrogen (the natural female hormone) produced in the body. Cancer cells require estrogen for their growth. Hence, blocking the aromatase enzyme prevents the growth of cancer cells. Together, Xtane Tablet helps prevent or stop the spread of tumours (cancer cells) to other body parts.
