Isn’t it all the same?

As far as I know Pfizer makes the drug. But they should all be the same.

Letrazole is generic Femara. All generics work tad well. Insurance won’t usually pay for brand name.

It is also my understnding that ingredients are the same. I took Femera for 5 years 15 years ago and now it is generic, probably at that time still on patent.

Just checked bottle and found that my Letrozole is made in Israel by Teva Pharmaceuticals.

I recall reading a while back that some people can have issues with some generics and find that a different generic or the original works better for them. This was because while the active ingredients are the same, the generics may have a different mix of inactive ingredients that may reduce effectiveness for certain patients. (Note: This wasn't related specifically to Femara/Letrozole.)

I believe that to be true but have not checked it out on letrozole. Please keep us informed what you find out.
