What risks are associated with the long-term use of femara (letrozole)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Affects the bones: Femara (letrozole) tends to reduce the bone density causing osteopenia or even cause osteoporosis. So you have to have your mineral bone density measured regularly and use medicines(like bisphosphonates) to protect your bones.
