This product requires a valid prescriptionFemara (letrozole) is an aromatase inhibitor used to treat breast cancer in women after menopause.
FEMARA (letrozole tablets) is an aromatase inhibitor used for the treatment of postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive or hormone receptor-unknown locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer. Femara (letrozole) is also indicated for the treatment of advanced cancer in postmenopausal women with disease progression following antiestrogen therapy. In choosing Femara (letrozole), your doctor has considered many factors. They include your age, the characteristics of your cancer, and whether you are premenopausal (still having menstrual periods) or postmenopausal (no longer having menstrual periods).
Typically there are two situations in which Femara (letrozole) is used. Femara (letrozole) may be prescribed as a woman's first hormonal therapy, or Femara (letrozole) may be prescribed after she has received previous therapy with tamoxifen or another antiestrogen, and her cancer is no longer controlled by that therapy. Femara (letrozole) should not be used in women who are premenopausal. Femara (letrozole) may cause fetal harm if given to pregnant women.
To understand how this class of drugs works, it is necessary to have some basic understanding of the way estrogen affects certain breast cancer cells. Hormone-dependent breast cancers contain protein molecules called estrogen receptors. When no estrogen is present, the estrogen receptors remain inactive. When the estrogen receptors are exposed to estrogen, however, they trigger a chain of events that results in tumor cell growth and multiplication. Tumors that contain these estrogen receptors are known as estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) tumors. These are the cancers that can be treated by Femara (letrozole) (and other hormonal therapies), to deprive them of estrogen. Your doctor may have performed a test to determine whether your tumor is estrogen receptor-positive or estrogen receptor-negative (ER-). Estrogen receptor-negative tumors grow without stimulation from estrogen; hormonal therapies are less effective in treating these cancers.
By interfering with the production of estrogen triggered by aromatase, aromatase inhibitors actually reduce the total amount of estrogen in the body. As a result, less estrogen can reach breast cancer cells. Thus, these drugs help to starve breast cancer cells in postmenopausal women by depriving them of estrogen. The next illustration shows the effect of estrogen deprivation on the multiplication of breast cancer cells.
FEMARA (letrozole tablets) is a highly potent estrogen suppressor in postmenopausal women with advanced breast cancer.
Androgen (a hormone found in both men and women) is produced by fat, muscle, and adrenal glands. Aromatase enzyme is needed to convert androgen into estrogen, which results in tumor growth. Femara (letrozole) binds to the aromatase enzyme and blocks it from converting androgen to estrogen, thereby reducing growth of the tumor.
Femara (letrozole) is a convenient therapy. You take just one 2.5-mg tablet once each day. Taking Femara (letrozole) at the same time each day will help you remember to take your therapy. If you forget to take your dose at your regular time, take it as soon as you remember. However, you should not take more than one pill each day. Food does not affect the absorption or the effectiveness of Femara (letrozole), so you can take Femara (letrozole) with or without food.
It is important to let your doctor know about all other drugs you are taking, even the over-the-counter (nonprescription) medications. Your doctor will best be able to determine which medications you may not take with Femara (letrozole). Your doctor will want you to keep taking Femara (letrozole) as long as you continue to benefit from it.
There are various ways in which your doctor can measure your response to Femara (letrozole) therapy; these may include physical examination, x-ray, bone scan, and CAT scan (Computerized Axial Tomography). FEMARA (letrozole tablets) is not chemotherapy. Femara (letrozole) is a form of hormonal therapy, and, as such, it acts differently than chemotherapy. In a clinical study, few patients (5%) who received 2.5 mg of Femara (letrozole) daily had hair thinning.
At the recommended daily dose of 2.5 mg, Femara (letrozole) is generally well tolerated. Most of the side effects that were observed in women who received Femara (letrozole) in clinical studies were not considered serious and were generally mild to moderate. Most common side effects included bone pain, hot flushes, back pain, dyspnea, nausea, arthralgia, coughing, fatigue, constipation, pain in the limb, chest pain, and headache.
