I am on Femara. I unfortunately have other pills as well. I have them all set up in a pill container for 2 weeks at a time, I take mine at night faithfully with my other meds. I sometimes still get nauseous from Femara so this way I sleep right through it. I would suggest taking it at a time of day that you WILL remember. I find having cancer you just do NOT forget to take it for the fear of cancer returning. Oh and definitely as JK Jones stated above, take calcium and Vitamins D as well. I am on Femara.
