Impregnil Letrozole 2.5mg – 30 Tablets
Impregnil is a non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor containing 2.5mg of Letrozole. Manufactured by Popular Pharmaceuticals Ltd and registered in Nigeria (NAFDAC No: B4-6375), it is a trusted choice for both oncology and fertility treatments.
What is the work of Impregnil?
Impregnil works by temporarily suppressing the production of estrogen in the body. This process is crucial for two main medical applications:
- Fertility and Ovulation Induction: It is widely prescribed in Nigeria for women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) or unexplained infertility. By lowering estrogen, it signals the brain to produce more Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), which helps the ovaries release healthy eggs.
- Breast Cancer Treatment: It is used for postmenopausal women with hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer to help prevent the growth of cancer cells.
How to take Impregnil for Fertility
If you are using Impregnil for ovulation induction, it is typically taken for 5 days, often starting on day 3, 4, or 5 of your menstrual cycle.
- Swallow the tablet whole with water.
- You can take it with or without food.
- Strictly follow the dosage and schedule prescribed by your fertility specialist or doctor.
Impregnil Side Effects
While generally well-tolerated, some women may experience:
- Hot flashes
- Fatigue or dizziness
- Joint or muscle pain
- Nausea
