Stimufol tablet is an aromatase inhibitor. It blocks the conversion of androgens to estrogens by competitively binding to the haem of the cytochrome p450 subunit of the aromatase enzyme and inhibits the biosynthesis of estrogen in all the tissues. Thus inhibits the growth of breast cancer.
Stimufol tablet alleviates the symptoms of breast cancer such as breast lumps, bloody discharge from the nipple, or changes in the shape or texture of the breast. It works by decreasing the amount of estrogen (natural female hormone) produced in the body. The decreased estrogen can slow down or stop the growth of some breast cancers, which helps to grow. In addition, it is also helpful in infertility, whereby it increases the release of certain hormones to stimulate the release of eggs from the ovaries.
