Overview Fertolet Tablet

Dosage frequency varies depending on the treatment goal, determined by your physician to manage symptoms effectively. Continuous use is crucial, as directed. Common side effects include hot flushes, tiredness, excessive perspiration, and elevated cholesterol. Report any concerning side effects to your doctor, who can offer mitigating strategies. Prior to commencing treatment, disclose any prior liver or kidney issues, osteoporosis history, or concurrent medications (which may interact adversely with Fertolet). Pregnancy or breastfeeding should also be reported. Pre- and during-treatment blood tests for vitamin D levels and bone density may be conducted by your physician.

Fertolet tablets are an aromatase inhibitor, typically prescribed for postmenopausal women with breast cancer, including those whose periods have ceased due to surgery or chemotherapy.
