Warnings

It is important that you give the reports of your medical history to your doctor before you use this drug. There are some factors that need to be examined before using this drug. These factors include:

  • Elevated blood cholesterol: One of the side effects of using Ferama is increased blood cholesterol. So if you already have elevated blood cholesterol before using the drug, you should discuss it with your doctor.
  • Allergies: If you have had an allergy to Ferama or one of its constituents, it is important that you do not use this drug. Tell your doctor so he can provide an alternative drug.
  • Pregnancy: You should not use Femara when you are pregnant. It might increase the risk of birth defects.
  • Osteoporosis [9]: As stated earlier, Ferama reduces the level of estrogen in the blood which is needed to strengthen your bones. So if you have osteoporosis, you should discuss it with your doctor. Your doctor will test the strength of your bones while you are on the drug and may need to prescribe other drugs to prevent them from getting weak.
  • Liver issues: If you have problems with your liver, you should discuss it with your doctor before using the drug. Femara is removed from your body by the liver. So if there is any issue with your liver, the level of Femara can be raised in your body since there will be problems clearing them. Your doctor may help lower the prescription for you.
  • Interactions with other drugs: It is important that you tell your doctor about other medications you are on before using Ferama. When used together with other drugs, they may affect how it works and you might not get results.
