Femara 2.5 Mg Tablet is a hormonal anticancer medicine used to treat hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer in postmenopausal women. It is a single-ingredient medicine containing letrozole, and belongs to a class of medicines called aromatase inhibitors.
This medicine works by lowering the amount of oestrogen in the body, which deprives hormone-sensitive breast cancer cells of the hormone they need to grow. It is used for early breast cancer after menopause, as continued treatment in women who have completed tamoxifen, and for locally advanced or metastatic hormone-sensitive breast cancer, including after anti-oestrogen therapy. Take it exactly as your doctor prescribes.
Treatment for breast cancer is often long term, so keep taking this medicine regularly for as long as your doctor advises and attend all follow-up appointments. Mention any hot flushes, joint pain or other symptoms that trouble you so your doctor can help manage them.
Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor about any other medical conditions, allergies, and all other medicines, supplements or herbal products you take. It must not be used during pregnancy, so discuss pregnancy, breastfeeding and contraception with your doctor where relevant.
