What Are Letrozole Tablets Used For, and Are There Any Side Effects? - #15203
I was recently prescribed Letrozole tablets, and I want to understand exactly how they work. From what I’ve read, Letrozole is often used for hormone-related conditions, but I’m not sure what makes it different from other medications. I know that Letrozole tablets are mainly used for breast cancer treatment in postmenopausal women, but I was surprised to find out that they are also prescribed for ovulation induction in women with PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome). How exactly does Letrozole help stimulate ovulation? Is it similar to Clomid, or does it work differently? I’m also wondering about the side effects of Letrozole tablets. I read that they can cause hot flashes, fatigue, joint pain, and dizziness. Do these side effects go away after stopping the medication, or can they last long-term? Are there any natural remedies or Ayurvedic herbs that can support fertility while taking Letrozole tablets? I’ve heard that Shatavari, Ashwagandha, and Maca root are beneficial for hormonal balance—do they work alongside Letrozole? If anyone has used Letrozole tablets for either breast cancer treatment or fertility, I’d love to hear your experiences. Did you notice any significant side effects, and was the treatment effective for you?
