letrozole which you have taken is used by gynaecologists in some places for ovulation induction. however, in many places it has not gotten approval for this purpose. it's actually an anti-cancer drug, and pregnancies caused by using this drug have sometimes been found to have congenital anomalies. however, the percentage of these anomalies is less. what you can now do is to opt for a sonography scan at 11-13 weeks and a 2nd scan at 22 weeks. most of the pregnancies dont result in malformation. good luck.

Answer 2

Letoval is the brand name of a medicine called letrozole. It is an anti-cancer medicine and is indicated, approved and internationally used for breast cancer in post-menopausal women. Using it for any other purpose is not only unethical but illegal. The manufacturer of this brand was illegally promoting its use in young women. The company was warned by drugs controller general of India (DCGI) to desist from such activities. The company apologised and promised not to do it again but the damage had been done.

The side effects of Letoval include: heart attack, hot flushes, vaginal bleeding, weight gain, ovarian tumours, sexual inactivity, angina, brain stroke, paralysis, life-threatening blood clots in lungs, etc, as reported by the innovator company (Novartis) to the United States Food and Drug Administration.
