Starting letrozole tomorrow
Hello all...I’m starting letrozole tomorrow...does anyone have a view on whether Femara is better than the generic brands? Some drugs I think it makes a difference, like the pill or Prozac, but others...
Hi I have been on Femara since the beginning of January. Apart from a bit of hot flushing which now seems to have settled down , so far so good.
I am 62.
I did have a bone density scan and had osteopenia so am now taking ( yet another) drug for that.
I have heard that some ladies have issues with certain brands and also that if they move from Letrazole to one of the other Aromatose Inhibitors they suffer less side effects.
Good luck and it’s important to let your oncologist know if you do get side effects .
