Final Thoughts on Femara and High Cholesterol

While Femara may cause high cholesterol, this is not usually a reason to stop taking it. Because so many effective high-cholesterol treatments are available, this condition can be treated while you continue to take Femara. While high cholesterol can be dangerous in the long run, breast cancer is usually more life-threatening and is usually a higher priority for most people. If you are concerned about Femara and high cholesterol, talk with your healthcare provider about your cholesterol levels (or have them tested if you have not had a recent cholesterol test). Your healthcare provider should be able to address your concerns and provide effective high-cholesterol treatment, if necessary.
