Letrozole 2.5mg Tablets: My Experience and Side Effects
Letrozole is an aromatase inhibitor that has been prescribed for me to help treat breast cancer. I've been on it for a few months now, and I've experienced some side effects that I want to share and discuss with others who might be going through the same thing — or who are considering this medication. How have others dealt with the side effects? Is anyone else struggling with hot flashes or dizziness? It's a struggle sometimes, but I know I'm not alone in this fight. Some of the worst side effects I've heard about are severe allergic reactions or high blood pressure, so I try to keep an eye out for those as well. Please share your thoughts, experiences, and tips for dealing with this drug.
