Yes, a one-week break from the use of Eltruzil (letrozole) is a situation that can affect the treatment process because this drug requires a constant concentration in the body to effectively inhibit the production of estrogen that stimulates the development of cancer. A single missed dose is usually not critical, however, a seven-day break causes a significant drop in the level of the active substance in the blood.
Return to regular medication as soon as possible (without doubling the dose to "catch up") and absolutely inform your oncologist about this break. Your doctor must assess whether such a break requires additional tests or modifications to your treatment plan in your individual case to ensure maximum safety and effectiveness of therapy.
