Yes. Letrozole (Femara) is an aromatase inhibitor approved by the FDA for adjuvant treatment of postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive early breast cancer. It is commonly prescribed for treating infertility in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).

Letrozole works by blocking the aromatase enzyme, which is responsible for converting androgens (such as testosterone) into estrogens. By binding to the enzyme, letrozole reduces estrogen production throughout the body. Lowering estrogen levels helps reduce the growth of hormone-sensitive breast cancer cells, which rely on estrogen to grow and multiply. When used for fertility, letrozole lowers estrogen, signalling the body to produce more follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), which enhances egg production and release.

No. Since it’s a prescription-only drug, you must first consult a doctor, and then you can purchase the medication at a pharmacy.

The cost of Letrozole (generic Femara) can vary depending on the pharmacy and your insurance status. Generic letrozole is generally affordable at $10- $32 per 2.5mg tablet. We offer prescriptions at a flat, pocket-friendly fee that does not include the pharmacy cost of the medication. 

No specific food can generally impact the effectiveness of Letrozole. However, patients may avoid foods high in phytoestrogens and saturated fat. Contact our doctors for personalized guidance on which diet may help increase fertility and overall health. 

No. It is not available over the counter. If you need a prescription, we can fax it directly to your pharmacy containing your name, the medicine name, number of refills, and dosage instructions. Once you verify your digital prescription, you can show it at your pharmacy counter and buy Letrozole for fertility.

Some medicines are known to interact with Letrozole and may alter its concentration in the body. While taking Letrozole, it is recommended to avoid Levomethadone, Methadone, Nittedanib, and other medications that treat breast cancer, such as Tamoxifen, Exemestane, and Raloxifene.  

Many people ovulate within 5 to 10 days after taking letrozole, and pregnancy may occur in the first few treatment cycles. On average, those using letrozole for fertility may conceive within 3 to 6 months, especially when taken as prescribed and timed with ovulation. However, results vary depending on factors like age, diagnosis (e.g., PCOS, unexplained infertility), and partner fertility. For more information, read our article on Letrozole for fertility. 

Both drugs are reported to help increase the chances of pregnancy. However, several studies suggest that Letrozole might be slightly more effective than Clomid for fertility in women with PCOS.
