On Letrozole: Can I safely use supplements for UTI infections?

Posted by mocheta @mocheta, Dec 9 11:24am

Is anybody using uqora for uti infections? I had estrogen positive breast cancer invasive ductal carcinoma of left breast. Uqora has 200 mg of turmeric and 200 of of d-mannose also has some green tea extract and some pepper. Does anybody knows if it interacts with letrozole 2.5 mg? The leaflet says do not take herbal supplements but I am not sure if this will interact

Welcome @mocheta I would ask my doctor about any supplements, usually just a message call to the nurse is enough if you don’t have an appointment coming up.
That being said, UTI was a problem for me as well and my doctor recommended taking cranberry pills. They don’t upset my stomach like the juice and you get a bigger dose. I take two a day and (knock on wood) I have not had one for several years. I started this while on endocrine therapy, although I believe it was Arimidex.
Have you been taking this supplement for a while? Does it work well?

Yes it had work for me that is why I would not want to level it. It also has vitamin d 1500 IU which my doctor says is good that I do not have to take any vitamin d because this is enough

@mocheta, I hope your UTI has cleared. A pharmacist can also be helpful when you have questions about drug and supplement interactions. Were you able to get an answer from your doctor or nurse?
