How to take AROMASIN
When taking AROMASIN® (exemestane tablets):
- Take a 25-milligram (mg) tablet of AROMASIN once a day
- Take AROMASIN after a meal
- If you miss a dose, take the next dose as usual

Can AROMASIN be taken with other medicines?
You should always talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking other medications. Do not take AROMASIN with those that contain estrogen. There are also drugs and supplements, such as St. John's wort, that can change the way AROMASIN works in your body.
If you are not sure if AROMASIN is right for you, talk to your doctor. Together you can decide on the best treatment plan for you.
