Both Femara (letrozole) and Clomid (clomiphene citrate) carry potential side effects, but their profiles differ. Femara users often report hot flashes, headaches, and joint pain. These typically are mild and resolve upon treatment cessation. However, rarely, Femara can increase the risk of blood clots.
Clomid’s side effects are more varied. Ovarian cysts are a common concern, though usually benign and manageable. Other potential side effects include blurred vision, bloating, mood swings, and nausea. Multiple pregnancies are also a risk, requiring careful monitoring.
The choice between Femara and Clomid depends on individual circumstances and risk tolerance. Discuss potential side effects thoroughly with your doctor to determine the best treatment option for your unique situation. They can help you weigh the benefits and potential risks of each medication.
Remember to accurately report any side effects you experience to your healthcare provider. Prompt reporting allows for timely management and ensures your safety and well-being.
