Letrozol №100 Method of administration and dosage.
Adults, including elderly patients. The recommended dose of letrozole is 2.5 mg once a day.
In the setting of adjuvant and extended adjuvant therapy, letrozole treatment should be continued for 5 years or until tumor recurrence, whichever comes first.
In patients with metastatic breast cancer or advanced breast cancer, letrozole treatment should be continued until signs of tumor progression appear.
In the setting of adjuvant therapy, a sequential treatment regimen should also be considered (letrozole for 2 years, then tamoxifen for 3 years).
In the setting of neoadjuvant therapy, letrozole treatment should be continued for 4 to 8 months in order to establish optimal tumor shrinkage. If the response to treatment is not sufficient, treatment with letrozole should be discontinued and surgery and / or other treatment options should be planned and discussed with the patient.
For elderly patients, dose adjustment of the drug is not needed.
Mode of application
Letrozole-Vista should be taken orally, regardless of food intake, since food does not affect the degree of absorption.
The missed dose should be taken as soon as the patient remembers it. However, if the patient remembers this shortly before taking the next dose (2-3 hours), the missed dose should be taken and the next dose should be taken according to the schedule. Do not take a double dose, because when taking a daily dose higher than the recommended 2.5 mg, a systemic exposure higher than the proportional one was observed.
Children.
The drug is not intended for use in children. The safety and efficacy of Letrozole-Vista treatment in children (under the age of 18) have not been established. The available data are limited, so it is not possible to develop a dosing recommendation.
