Hello Meeta,
Letrozole does have some side effects, though not all patients will suffer from them. The main side effects are related to decrease of calcium in the bone (change in turnover of calcium).
You will find detailed info here, on this page, belonging to British Columbia Cancer Agency:

Go through it, and if doubts persist, please feel free to ask.
Letrozole can cause osteoporosis , so one has to be really careful. You must take calcium supplements and bons strengthening tablets ( bisphosphonates). Also check your baseline bone mineral density by doing a DEXA scan .
