Have you read the information leaflet that comes with Letrozole? This describes all fairly clearly. Have you started taking this medication yet or are you having some side-effects?
I am sorry to hear that the Letrozole is making you ill. Can you tell us in what way it is making you ill? This might help us to give you some advice. If you are really having trouble with this drug, please mention it to your specialist nurse or consultant, as there are other drugs that can be prescribed.
The tablet was giving me headaches and made me feel sick, aching all over, the consultant told me leave it off for 3 weeks and go back on it, I did ask her to change it, for some reason she reluctant, Carol.xx
I've been taking it for a few months now. I had hot flushes and sweating, some sickness and loss of appetite and also tiredness. I have a nap to make up for the loss of sleep and I take it in the morning, because I find it easier to deal with any problems while I'm distracted with other things. Breakfast tends to be toast, very lightly buttered, and some fruit, and that helps with the sickness.The problems have eased (or I've got used to them) as time's gone on. I didn't have headaches though and I think that would concern me. Gill xx
