Femara Description
What is Femara?
Femara is a prescription medicine that contains letrozole. It is used after breast cancer surgery in some postmenopausal women and for ongoing disease control. In Australia, the usual tablet is 2.5 mg.
Letrozole is the brand often stocked as Femara. Your online pharmacy will confirm your doctor’s prescription and arrange delivery across Australia. Generic letrozole may be available in some places.
How does letrozole work?
Letrozole lowers estrogen production by blocking the aromatase enzyme. Fewer estrogens slow the growth of hormone receptor‑positive tumours. This helps control cancer in many patients.
It is mainly used in women after menopause. It is not effective for premenopausal women unless ovarian function is suppressed. Your doctor will guide the best timing for you.
How to take Femara
The typical dose is one 2.5 mg tablet once daily. Take it at the same time each day, with or without food. Do not crush or chew the tablet. Swallow it whole with a glass of water.
If you miss a dose, skip it and resume on the next day. Do not double dose. If you experience persistent vomiting or diarrhea, contact your clinician. Keep taking it unless advised otherwise.
Side effects and safety
Common side effects include hot flashes, night sweats, joint or muscle stiffness, fatigue, and sleep problems. Some people notice thinning of the bones with long use.
Serious effects are rare but require urgent care. Look out for severe abdominal pain, yellowing of the skin, dark urine, chest pain or swelling of legs. Tell your doctor if you have liver or kidney problems, or a history of osteoporosis.
What to discuss with your doctor
Share all medicines you take, including vitamins and supplements. Avoid estrogen-containing therapies while on Femara, and do not use tamoxifen unless your doctor instructs you to.
Discuss pregnancy plans, breastfeeding, or prior bone density issues. Let your doctor know if you have liver disease, high cholesterol, or cardiovascular risk. Regular checkups help tailor the treatment to you.
Availability in Australia and how it ships
In Australia, Femara is supplied by pharmacies with a valid prescription. It may be subsidised for eligible patients under the PBS and private health plans may apply. Delivery from online pharmacies is discreet and fast.
