Letrozole Online Prescription

Letrozole - Overview

Letrozole is a medication sometimes prescribed for some types of cancers and is also used off-label for men with hormonal or fertility issues and certain women with infertility. People who might need a letrozole prescription can use Push Health to connect with a medical provider who can prescribe the medication to a retail or delivery pharmacy when appropriate to do so.

What Is Letrozole Used For?

Letrozole is available as a generic medication and marketed under the brand name Femara. Letrozole is sometimes prescribed as an adjuvant therapy to postmenopausal women with certain types of cancer and is also sometimes prescribed off-label for fertility, PCOS, and for testosterone balance and related concerns in men.

Letrozole, like anastrozole (Arimidex), belongs to a class of medications known as aromatase inhibitors and blocks aromatase, the enzyme that converts androgens to estrogens. Lower estrogen levels are typically the goal when the medication is prescribed.

Letrozole - Dosage and Cost

Letrozole is sometimes prescribed at an initial dose of letrozole 2.5 mg tablet once daily when used in cancer patients. For ovulation induction, letrozole may be prescribed from 2.5-7.5 mg daily for 5 days early in the cycle. The dose and protocol used depends on the patient and intended outcome. Tablets can be taken with or without food.

Generic letrozole is considered affordable, costing approximately 40 cents per 2.5 mg tablet at many pharmacies. Additionally, prescription discount coupons may be available online and some insurance plans may cover costs associated with the medication. Branded letrozole tablets are expensive when not covered by insurance.

Can I Buy Letrozole Online?

Letrozole is available by prescription only in the United States. People who might need a letrozole tablet prescription, however, can use Push Health to connect with a medical provider who can prescribe the medication to a local or delivery pharmacy when appropriate to do so.

Letrozole - Side Effects

Letrozole can cause side effects such as nausea, hot flashes, weight gain, joint aches, edema, vomiting and dizziness when used. Long term, letrozole can cause bone loss, possible cholesterol changes, and other estrogen-deprivation effects.

Letrozole can interact with other drugs and care should be taken when prescribed as part of a multidrug regimen. People with a known allergy to the medication should avoid using it. Discuss any questions or concerns about using the medication with a medical provider or pharmacist.
