Hello,
Welcome to healthcare Magic.
I have gone through your query and Would like to reply in detail as follows:
1. Letroz causes malformation in some fetus.
2. But this is not necessary in every fetus. Get anomaly scan done around 20 weeks to confirm anomalies.
I hope your diubt is clarified. Let me know if you wish any other information.
Regards,
Dr. Soumya
