Description of Femara
Letrozole is the generic name for Femara and it is available in the form of tablets for oral administration.

Some of the inactive ingredients of Femara include titanium dioxide, ferric oxide, colloidal silicon dioxide, lactose monohydrate, maize starch, microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate, talc, sodium starch glycolate, polyethylene glycol, and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose.

Indications & Dosage of Femara
Femara is administered for treatment of breast cancer especially in postmenopausal women. Femara is also prescribed to those women who are already being administered tamoxifen for a period of 5 years. Femara works by lowering the level of estrogen in the body of postmenopausal women. This helps in slowing the growth of specific breast tumors, which rely completely on estrogen to enable their growth process in the human body.
The recommended dosage is one Femara 2.5 mg tablet, once a day with or without food and should be taken orally with a glass of water. The duration of treatment varies from one patient to another although the planned duration is for 5 years. The median duration of treatment observed currently by doctors across the world is 60 months. The dosage should be reduced by almost 50% in those patients who are suffering from severe hepatic dysfunction and cirrhosis. The recommended dosage for such patients is one Femara 2.5 mg tablet once in two days.
