Generic Femara  ( Japanese : フェマーラ ) (Letrozole) is an effective medication to block the production of estrogen. When the estrogen level in the body increases, it leads to the development of certain kinds of breast cancer. Letrozole also prevents the growth of tumors in postmenopausal women. Generic Femara is generally administered to those women who have been on tamoxifen (Nolvadex, Soltamox) medication for 5 years.

 

Before taking Letrozole, you should have all the relevant information regarding the medicine to derive maximum benefits from it. Tell the doctor if you suffer from liver disease so that you may have a dose adjustment or undertake particular tests to carefully take the generic Femara.

 

Pregnant women shouldn't use Letrozole as it can cause birth defects in an unborn baby. Consult with your doctor straightway if you conceive during the treatment. Make use of an effective form of birth control too.
