Aromasin Dosage

The recommended Aromasin dosage for treating postmenopausal women with breast cancer is 25 mg once daily after a meal. Aromasin is approved for use in women with early breast cancer only after they have had two to three years of tamoxifen. Women who are taking certain other medications may need a higher Aromasin dose (50 mg once daily). Factors that can affect your specific Aromasin dosage include the severity of your breast cancer, other medical conditions you may have, and whether you are taking other medications.
