What is Femara?
Femara is a medication that is used to treat various types of breast cancer in women after menopause. It also has the ability to help prevent the cancer from returning. Some breast cancers tend to grow at a faster rate, specifically by a hormone called estrogen. This medication decreases the amount of estrogen the body produces and helps to slow or reverse the growth of the breast cancer. This medication comes in the singular dose of 2.5mg, and we have both the brand choice and the generic alternative called Letrozole. At times, doctors even prescribe this medication for ovulation problems. If you have any questions feel free to give us a call at 1-877-385-8998.
