How Does Femara Work?
Femara is part of a group of medications called aromatase inhibitors. Aromatase is an enzyme found in various places in the body. It helps with the production of estrogens (in particular, a certain estrogen called estradiol). In postmenopausal women, most of the estrogen in the body is made by aromatase enzymes. By blocking these enzymes, Femara helps to decrease the amount of estrogen in the body.
