letro dosage help

[allout13]

the letro i ordered says 2.5mg 5X10. there are 5 sheets with 10 pills a sheet. would this make them all .25mg/pill?
they are really small. would probably take 4 or 5 of them to fill up the size of a quarter. any help?

Why did you change the decimal position? They are what they say they are 2.5mgs per pill. If you want to take less, you'll need to break them accordingly.

Be sure to educate yourself before using this or any drug. Here's Novartis' info on Femara (Letrozole tablets):

Best to you.

magic thanks for your response. the only thing is they are so small and i would have to break them three times. after i broke it three times in half, they were down to the size of a sprinkle (random i know but all i could think of).

and in my first post i meant that the package says 2.5mg 5 x 10. I wasnt sure on if it was 10 pills was 2.5mg or not (that would make them all .25mg each.)

magic, that document says something very interesting
"... indicates that the therapeutic effect of Femara therapy is not impaired if Femara is administered immediately after tamoxifen "

So basically 10-20mg of tamox WITH letro every morning shouldnt hurt each other ?

This is one of the rare occasions where size really doesn't matter!

You didn't state why you're using this, but it's clear that you don't want to be at 2.5mgs., so again breaking is fine, but if it lacks the precision you seek there's always liquid. And as for your tabs, if applicable ramp your liquid up to 2.5mgs, sell them to someone who needs such a dose, or go ahead and use the broken pieces. It's all up to you.

True!

And though applicable for off cycle gyno treatment. You wouldn't want to combine these while on.
