Letrozole Side effects-- throaty
Have been taking letrozole for about 4 months after DCIS (w/clear margins), and preventative radiation treatment. Seem to be free of noticeable side effects except it appears to cause a cough and a 'drippy' feeling in the back of my throat. I confirmed this by going off it for 2 weeks, when these symptoms disappeared. Has anyone else had cough, sore or scratchy throat. Found anything that helps? Thanks.

miss344I have had a cough but attributed it to radiation SE since it was my left breast. Now I wonder because it might have started after getting on the letrozole. I mentioned it to my RO and she provided an order for a CT scan. Please keep me posted, as I know this post is a bit dated. Thanks!

I'm pretty convinced letrozole is the culprit because the cough/scratchy throat corresponds exactly
to the timing of it. My doc has also listened to my lungs and they are clear. I'm sticking with it for now
unless it gets worse or keeps me up at night (which it doesn't right now…)
