LETROZOLE - ORAL

COMMON BRAND NAME(S): Femara

USES: This medication is used with other medications to treat certain types of breast cancer (e.g., hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer) in women after menopause. Letrozole is also used to help prevent the cancer from returning. Some breast cancers are made to grow faster by a natural hormone called estrogen. Letrozole decreases the amount of estrogen the body makes and helps to slow or reverse the growth of these breast cancers. Letrozole is not to be used in women of childbearing age (see Precautions section).

HOW TO USE: Take this medication by mouth, usually once daily with or without food or as directed by your doctor. It is very important to continue taking this medication (and other medications for your cancer) exactly as prescribed by your doctor. This medication works best when the amount of drug in your body is kept at a constant level. Therefore, take this drug at evenly spaced intervals. To help you remember, take it at the same time each day. Do not take more or less of this drug than prescribed, or stop taking it (or other cancer medicines) even for a short time unless directed to do so by your doctor. Skipping or changing your dose without approval from your doctor may worsen side effects or cause the cancer to spread or return.

SIDE EFFECTS: Hot flashes, aching/painful joints and muscles, unusual sweating at night, weight gain, nausea, tiredness, dizziness, unusual bleeding from the vagina, and vomiting may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor or pharmacist promptly. Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects. Other less common side effects may include: constipation, vaginal dryness, trouble sleeping, swelling. Tell your doctor immediately if any of these unlikely but serious side effects occur: chest pain, nausea with unusual sweating, fast breathing, sudden/severe headache, sudden fainting, sudden weakness/paralysis on one side of the body, stomach/abdominal pain, leg swelling/redness/pain, bone loss/fracture. Tell your doctor immediately if any of these rare but very serious side effects occur: yellowing eyes/skin, dark urine, severe stomach/abdominal pain, persistent tiredness, persistent nausea/vomiting. A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is unlikely, but seek immediate medical attention if it occurs. Symptoms of a serious allergic reaction may include: rash, itching, swelling of any part of the face/neck, severe dizziness, trouble breathing. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
