Q. Why have I been prescribed Ovastim LZ 5mg Tablet?
Ovastim LZ 5mg Tablet is an aromatase inhibitor. It is generally prescribed to treat breast cancer in women who no longer have periods, either due to menopause or after surgery or chemotherapy.
Q. How does Ovastim LZ 5mg Tablet work?
Ovastim LZ 5mg Tablet is also known as an anti-estrogen drug. It is called so because it acts by reducing the production of estrogen in your body by blocking the enzyme aromatase, which is responsible for the production of estrogen.

Reducing the production of estrogen may prevent cancer from growing.
