I just received letrozole 2.5 mg tablets (generic for Femara) which are supposed to be yellow but are a mauve color not yellow? They are round shaped with N stamped on 1st side & L on the 2nd side. I am concerned about the color. these pills were produced by Breckenridge co. ## Our listings also say they should be yellow. The color, however, doesn't actually mean anything, so the company may have changed it, but I'd suggest double checking with your pharmacy to be certain. Have you contacted them to ask? ## MY tabs are also peach or a more mauve color, FROM BRECKINRIDGE! I tried to send them a question but only pharmacists and doctors can question them. Very irresponsible of this company to not update their description.

I've been on Letrozole for over 6 months for metastatic breast cancer that spread to my bones. I had a complete hysterectomy in 1997 so I was surprised to learn my body fat still produces estrogen which fed my Invasive Lobular Breast Cancer. My second pill sent me into a horrible hot flash. I almost quit taking it but figured out by changing times I took it by advancing one hour each day that when I take it around 7p.m. I don't have hot flashes at night but do have one at 6pm right before time for another dose. ## You can read more about what these types of medications do on MedlinePlus. Letrozole is a hormone based chemotherapy, and when something disrupts your natural hormones, hot flashes can occur, just like they can during natural perimenopause, or menopause. As someone in ...

Where they both prescribed by the same doctor, or are all relevant physicians aware that she's taking both?

I am on zoladex and letrozole and I get really bad headaches. Is it OK to take solpadeine migraine which contains iboprufen and codein please? ## Hello, Sim! How are you? Since you are being treated for cancer, you should really check with your doctor, before taking anything else. It is hard to know what might interact with cancer medications and what might or might not be safe for you. Did your doctor prescribe it?

For the first time I took a tablet called letrozole which is generic for Femara 2.5 mg. It is yellowish in color and I called the manufacturer before taking since i have a pretty serious reaction to yellow dye #5 and they assured me the color was from ferrous oxide not yellow dye. An hour after taking the tablet, I had lip swelling and rash across shoulders and back. Took a benadryl and went to bed. Some difficulty in swallowing for the next few days and a rash that didn't clear for 4 days. Lips still peeling and raw. Because I need to take this tablet to prevent recurrence of breast cancer, I am concerned and ready to try another tab without the yellow color. Wondering if this would be a safe idea. ## Glad the pharmacy and the Oncologist have ordered a new generic for Femera. Hopin...

Medications, such as CO Etidrocal are well known to cause these types of side effects in some people that take them. As listed by the FDA, you may also experience nausea, dizziness and headaches. There really is no relief for it, so to speak, you may need to stop taking it or switch to a different medication. Have you informed your doctor of the problem? ## I had to stop talking it because I was in a lot of pain

What kind of pill is this ## Hi jerrie, Based on the description provided, I've identified your pill to be Letrozole (2.5 mg); which is used in the treatment of breast cancer. It works by decreasing the amount of estrogen produced by the body. This in turn, can slow or stop the growth of some types of breast cancer cells that need estrogen to grow.

which is stronger femara or Soma muscle relaxers? ## Femara is not a muscle relaxant, Femara contains the active ingredient Letrozole, it is a nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor that is most commonly used to treat hormonally responsive breast cancer. Soma contains the active ingredient Carisoprodol and it is a muscle relaxant, it works well for some people, but not for all. Was there some other medication you were thinking, rather than Femara?
