Letroz 2.5 Tablet Health Feed

Asked for male, 32 years old from Delhi

I had conceived on clomid thrice, two miscarriages and one ectopic now my doctor prescribe me letrozole. My amh is 1.8 but my doctor told me that your situation is quite similar to pcos and your ovaries outer layer is thick and it can't properly release an egg so l want to know that which one is better clomid or femara, please suggest me some good options.

Both are equally effective but endometrium is better with letroz. Your problem is not conception but retention of pregnancy. If you get pregnant this time, consult your doctor regarding heparin injections.

Asked for female, 30 years old from Gorakhpur

My wife, age 30, was suffering from pcod and got treated by 3 month oral contraceptive pills. She conceived by giving normoz and folic acid but miscarriage occurred at 8 th week. She again suffered from pcod and irregular periods. Afterwords she had no follicular growth in subsequent mc but after giving normoz follicular growth was there but ovulation not occurred. Again after prescription she took letrozole and this time follicle growth occurred and she was given hcg 5000 inj. This time ovulation occurred but did not conceive. Afterwards due to lighten we could not consult to doctor. But as a safe side from pcod she took normoz for two months. Now in this cycle we found a pathology open for follicular monitoring, she had started taking letrozole 2.5 mg from 3rd day to 7th day. Today is third day. I want to know whether normoz should also be taken with letrozole + folic acid. Or letrozole should be taken as single along with folic acid tabs. Please guide us. Thanks. (submitted on behalf of my wife)

Normoz helps in progesteron synthesis and is a useful drug in pcod. Letrazole can be combined with it for induction of ovulation. Folic acid is to prevent fetal anomaliies if pregnancy occurs.

My doctor prescribed letrozole 5 mg tablet but I took letrozole 2.5 mg tablet, is there anything to worry about?

Dr. Barnali Basu95%(2579 ratings)

Usually letrozole is started at 2.5 mg and it is increased if ovulation has not taken place with this dose. So on taking low dose may not cause ovulation. But this can be confirmed only through folliculometry.

Hi,
do not worry. Hcg 10,000 iu will help. For ovulation induction along with letroz inj hmg can also be used. This need not repeat.

You can
in pcod ovulation- release of ovum is deranged because of hormonal changes. So long time different trials are required to treat same so with patience continue consulting gynecologist or infertility specialist in whom you have trust.

As you are on hcg injection, ovarian size has to be monitored to exclude hyperstimulation syndrome. It is ideal to try for next cycle.

Metformin has been given for pcod. This condition may cause insulin resistance leading to high blood sugar. This drug helps to keep the insulin resistance normal thus helping in treatment of pcod. Letrozole has been given for ovulation.
