Exemestane is a medication used in the treatment of hormone-dependent breast cancer in postmenopausal women. It belongs to the class of aromatase inhibitors and works by reducing estrogen levels in the body, which slows or stops the growth of tumors that require estrogen to grow.

Side effects may include hot flashes, fatigue, joint or muscle pain, insomnia, nausea, osteoporosis or decreased bone density, and excessive sweating. Rarely, allergic reactions or liver disorders may occur.
