Drug Uses
Femаrа is used to treat postmenopausal women with breast cancer that is resistant to the more commonly-used anti-estrogen medications such as tаmoxifen (Nolvаdex). It also is approved for treating postmenopausal women after surgery who have hormone-sensitive early breast cancer.
How to use
Take by mouth once daily with or without food or as directed. Do not stop taking this medication unless instructed to do so by your doctor or phаrmаcist. Continue to take your other medications unless instructed otherwise.
Drug Class and Mechanism
Femаrа is an oral, anti-estrogen drug that is used for treating postmenopausal women with breast cancer. The growth of some breast cancers in postmenopausal women is promoted by estrogens that circulate in the blood, and the adrenal glands are the main source of these circulating estrogens. Femаrа inhibits the enzyme in the adrenal glands (aromatase) that produces the estrogens, estrаdiol and estrone. Femаrа was approved by the FDA in 1997.
Missed Dose
If you miss a dose of Mentаx, use it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not use 2 doses at once.
Storage
Store at room temperature between 59 and 86 degrees F (15-30 degrees C) away from light and moisture.
