can you dissolve femara (letrozole) in water?

Question

Will I ovulate while on femara (letrozole)?

Answer 1

Ask prescribing Dr.: A person who is taking Femara (letrozole) (for breast cancer) and has trouble swallowing the pill, should ask the prescribing doctor if the pill can be crushed and mixed with liquid or food. The paperwork about the drug says the drug doesn't dissolve well in water. It doesn't have a warning box saying not to crush the tablet, so probably it is ok to crush up to aid swallowing.

Answer 2

Not recommended: It is better to take the pill intact and let it dissolve in your stomach. It is meant to dissolve and release the medicine over time. Dissolving it may flood your system too quickly or not be absorbed properly.

Answer 3

No: No, there is a potential of an injury and a chance of water being forced into the vaginal canal.

Answer 4

Pregnancy and Water: I have not seen any risk from water slides except the risk of injury from taking chances. This would apply even if you are not pregnant.

Answer 5

Comfort vs risk: Water births are touted for those foregoing pain medicine, especially epidurals. They provide weightlessness, and can help patients manage labor pain better. However, if one chooses to have a water delivery, there can be problems including increased risk of infection, problems with managing the perineum or the head during the delivery, and aspiration, with severe consequences for the baby.

Answer 6

See below: There are multiple techniques offered for childbirth, and new techniques, as well as old ones, come in and out of vogue. What seems to work best is what works for you. I have worked at hospitals with and without water births. As an anesthesiologist i will say that a water birth means that the use of epidural anesthesia is not possible, or extremely difficult.

Answer 7

Water birth: Water birth may be used during stage 1 of labor (contractions start up to cervix fully dilated). It has shown to decrease pain, keeps pt from needing anesthesia and speeds up labor. Studies have shown that water birth does not improve medical outcome for mom or child

Answer 8

Possible benefits: may include helping the mother relax and roll side to side which may ease the discomfort and decrease the need for anesthesia during the first stage of labor, that is, until the cervix is dilated. There are no proven benefits and possible significant complications of water birth during second stage of labor and actual delivery.

Answer 9

No: Hcg is produced by the placenta and is not effected by food or fluid intacke. Test for urine or blood are very sensitive.

Answer 10

In urine: Hcg levels in urine depend on the concentration of urine and drinking too much water will make the urine dilute and the HCG levels will appear to be low. Drinking too much water is not likely to affect the blood levels of hcg.

Answer 11

Water safety: Good question! limit yourself to bottled water, ask for good local brand, sometimes drinking water warm versus cold can kill lots of parasites. You can boil your water, let the sediment sink, decant water into new container and then drink. Avoid asking for ice in your drinks as many times made from unsterile water. Careful also with salads and fruits. If camping you may use portable tablets. Best!

Answer 12

8c of any liquids: The typical recommended amount of fluid to take in daily is around 8 cups. That includes water, milk, juice, other beverages & liquid from foods like fruit. Thirst indicates too little. The ideal varies from day to day depending on heat, activity, etc. However, most women should try to drink a cup at and between each meal/snack and at bedtime to keep the fluid level steady, especially if pregnant.

Answer 13

8c per day: If a woman has vomiting or diarrhea, she would need to get more fluid, sometimes by intravenous (IV) solution. If she is in extreme heat or is sweating more than usual, she might need more than 8c per day. If pregnant and uncertain about how much fluid to drink or take in the form of foods, she should never hesitate to speak with a nutritionist and/or physician due to risks of dehydration.

Answer 14

At least 8 glasses: Your water intake needs depend on activity, diet, temperature and your metabolism. Make sure you're drinking enough so that your urine is fairly clear. Any time you are not feeling that well, the first thing to do is drink more water.

Answer 15

Keep your pee clear: If your urine is clear to light yellow then you are drinking enough water. This is a quick and easy way to make sure you are hydrated. Vitamins will make your urine a little more yellow than usual.

Answer 16

Quench thirst: Drink enough water to quench your thirst. We ignore our body's signals to us telling us when to eat and drink. And many people confuse thirst for hunger.

Answer 17

1/2 gallon +/-: Rule of thumb: take your weight in pounds and divide by two. That's how many ounces you should take in if you are moderately active. Obviously more if it's hot or you are very active.

Answer 18

At least 8 glasses : At least 64 ounces of water per day.

Answer 19

64 oz of H20 or more: On a normal day, without excessive activity or heat, you should drink eight 8oz glasses of water a day (or about 64oz). If you're working out and sweating or it is hot enough to cause you to sweat you should increase your water consumption accordingly. In addition, if you drink significant amounts of caffeine you should increase water intake secondary to caffeine's diuretic effect.
