anyone taking this with NO side effects? My wife has been taking it since last Oct. 06. No side effects (yet). But we are always concerned as to damage to organs from any prescription drug. > anyone taking this with NO side effects? wow, that's great a year with no side effects! Life itself has side effects, don't you know, ghastly ones ;-(.....good for her, she has just a year to go, right? thanks for the note > My wife has been taking it since last Oct. 06.

I have been taking Femara - 2.5 mg daily since October 2004. Thus far no side effects that I am aware of except maybe fatigue but don't know if Femara is the cause or because I am 77. Greta anyone know of a place offshore to buy it? it is soooo expensive! I see it for sale online and wonder if it's OK..... as for being tired due to age, not sure; my mom is 84 and out every single NIGHT. amazing. >I have been taking Femara - 2.5 mg daily since October 2004.

I see it > for sale online and wonder if it's OK..... Do be careful about buying offshore and especially online. There is a massive trade in fake and degraded drugs, in some cases bigger than the mainstream market for the drug. Tim Jackson In USA when I arrive at the donut hole in Medicare D drug coverage, I purchase Femara from Canada. The last one I used was CanadaDrugs.com, where I paid $519 for 90 pills. Later I found that CanadianPharmacyMeds.com was a bit cheaper. I was ahead even though I did not get credit toward the catastrophic drug coverage of Plan D. On one website I saw that a generic was available but I do not know how reliable the site is or what country it related to.

That's wouldn't help me, given I'm paying $410 for 90 (if I choose to continue; the side effects are not thrilling me) yeah, still pretty high, but lower than $900+. I couldn't find a reference to any generic and I'm an inveterate researcher/reporter so....maybe I missed something. what are you buying now?

Wonder what "tentavily" means in this context and what is current news. Anyone know? Greta NEW YORK, May 3 (Reuters) - U.S. regulators have tentatively approved Mylan Laboratories Inc.'s (MYL.N: Quote, Profile, Research) generic version of Novartis AG's (NOVN.VX: Quote, Profile, Research) Femara breast-cancer drug, Mylan said on Thursday. The 2.5-milligram strength of Femara, known generically as letrozole, had U.S. sales of $326 million in 2006, Mylan said. ((Reporting by Lewis Krauskopf; editing by John Wallace; Reuters Messaging: Lewis.Krauskopf.reuters.com@reuters.net; lewis.krauskopf@reuters.com; 646-223-6082)) Keywords: MYLAN/FDA and what is Mylan's drug named? someone said try Wal-Mart but they aren't carrying it that I can see. I'll look into this Mylan thing...thanks....not a Mylar balloon I hope.... >I have copied this from the Reuters site. Wonder what "tentavily" means in >this context and what is current news.

I guess it's a gold mine for Novartis! Greta no question it's a gold mine for Novartis. > Mylan's site is mum on this - one site said it was available in India.
