Femara (letrozole) is an nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor, primarily used for treating breast cancer in post-menopausal women. It may also be prescribed to treat metastasis in both pre and post-menopausal women, and when treatment with other medications, usually tamoxifen, is not producing results.

Hormonally-responsive cancer thrives on hormones like estrogen. In post-menopausal women estrogen is primarily produced in the breasts and in certain parts of the brain. Femara inhibits the production of estrogen in these areas, effectively starving the cancer, or preventing it from growing and spreading.

Femara does not inhibit estrogen produced by the ovaries in pre-menopausal women, but it is sometimes used in fertility therapy.

Why Buy Femara?

Like any cancer, breast cancer is a frightening and life-changing event. While there is no certain cure for cancer, Femara has proven effective at combating or even preventing breast cancer in many patients, even when other treatments fail to produce results. For many women this means not only better odds of survival, but also improved quality of life and greater independence.

A prescription is required to buy Femara.

Taking Femara:

Femara is a tablet, usually taken once a day at the same time. It may be taken with or without food.

Dosage and duration of treatment will vary depending on a number of factors, including the condition being treated, patient response to treatment, and other medications being taken. It is important to follow physician instructions carefully to get the most benefit from Femara.

Femara is usually taken for 2 to 5 years, though in some cases treatment may be longer. It is often prescribed after 2 to 5 years of treatment with tamoxifen have already occurred.

If a dose is missed, it may be taken when remembered or skipped entirely if it is near time for the next dose. Double doses should be avoided.

Other treatments which impact hormone levels, such as estrogen replacement therapies, estrogen creams, or birth control pills, may greatly interfere with Femara's effectiveness. For this reason it is important the prescribing physician is aware of all other prescription and non-prescription medications being taken for the duration of treatment.
