Whats That
Adova Capsule is used to treat breast cancer in women who have gone through menopause (cessation of menses periods). Breast cancer is a type of cancer that develops in breast cells stimulated by the female sex hormone known as estrogen.
Adova Capsule works by blocking the aromatase enzyme, which is involved in producing the estrogen hormone. The cancer cells require estrogen for their growth. Hence, by blocking the aromatase enzyme, Adova Capsule prevents the growth of cancer cells. Together, Adova Capsule helps prevent or stop the growth of tumours (cancer cells) in other body parts.
Take Adova Capsule as prescribed by your doctor. Depending on your medical conditions, you are advised to take Adova Capsule for as long as your doctor prescribes it. In some cases, you may experience common side effects such as headache, musculoskeletal (bone, muscle, or joint) pain, hot flashes, nausea, skin rashes, osteoporosis, and weakness. Do not hesitate to talk with your doctor if you persistently experience any of these side effects.
To treat your condition effectually, continue taking Adova Capsule for as long as your doctor has prescribed. Do not stop Adova Capsule midway. Talk to your doctor before taking Adova Capsule if you have allergies, osteoporosis (thinning of bones), bone fractures, high levels of cholesterol, or severe liver or kidney disease. Avoid taking Adova Capsule if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Adova Capsule causes weakness and dizziness, so drive only if you are alert. Adova Capsule should not be given to children as safety has not been established. Avoid consuming alcohol with Adova Capsule as it could lead to increased drowsiness and dizziness. Inform your doctor about your health condition and medications before taking Adova Capsule to rule out any side effects.

Breast cancer is a type of cancer that develops in breast cells stimulated by a female sex hormone called estrogen. Breast cancer may form in lobules (glands that produce milk), ducts of the breast (the pathway that brings milk from glands to the nipple), fatty tissue, or fibrous connective tissue within the breast. The tumour cells invade other healthy breast cells and travel to lymph nodes, a primary pathway for the cancer cells to move to other parts of the body. Symptoms of breast cancer include a lump in the breast or tissue thickening which feels different than the normal surrounding tissues, breast pain, redness, swelling, nipple discharge other than breast milk, bloody discharge, unexplained change in shape, size, or appearance of the breast, peeling, flaking or scaling of the skin, and a lump or swelling under the arm.
